Nurse Practitioner Or Physician Assistant Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a nurse practitioner or physician assistant in Pennsylvania?
Nurse practitioners in Pennsylvania must hold a graduate nursing degree, pass the AANP or ANCC national certification exam, and obtain licensure through the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing. Physician assistants are licensed by the Pennsylvania State Board of Medicine after completing an accredited PA program and passing the PANCE. Both roles require a collaborative agreement with a supervising physician under Pennsylvania law before practicing independently.
Which companies hire nurse practitioner or physician assistants in Pennsylvania?
Employers hiring nurse practitioner or physician assistants in Pennsylvania right now include Allegheny Health Network, Geisinger, and Penn Medicine, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Pennsylvania's large integrated health systems, regional hospital networks, and federally qualified health centers across the state generate consistent demand for both roles year-round.
Which Pennsylvania cities have the most nurse practitioner or physician assistant jobs?
The cities with the most nurse practitioner or physician assistant openings in Pennsylvania are Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Erie. Philadelphia dominates due to its concentration of academic medical centers and large health systems, while Pittsburgh's strength in specialty care and Geisinger's regional footprint drives significant hiring across central and northeastern Pennsylvania, including smaller communities that larger metro counts sometimes obscure.
Are there remote nurse practitioner or physician assistant jobs in Pennsylvania?
Yes, but they're rare. The hands-on nature of clinical care means most nurse practitioner and physician assistant roles require an in-person presence. About 53% of nurse practitioner or physician assistant openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those positions tend to be concentrated in telehealth triage, chronic disease management, and insurance utilization review roles.
How can I get hired as a nurse practitioner or physician assistant in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to new-graduate or residency programs offered by large Pennsylvania health systems. UPMC, Penn Medicine, and Geisinger each run structured post-graduate residency or fellowship programs designed for newly certified NPs and PAs, particularly in primary care and hospital medicine. Candidates who secured clinical rotations at these institutions have a meaningful advantage. Holding an active Pennsylvania license and completing any available certificate coursework in your target specialty strengthens an application considerably.
