Nurse Practitioner Or Physician Assistant Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a nurse practitioner or physician assistant in Virginia?

Nurse practitioners in Virginia must complete a graduate-level NP program, pass the appropriate national certification exam, and obtain licensure through the Virginia Board of Nursing. Physician assistants must graduate from an accredited PA program, pass the PANCE, and register with the Virginia Board of Medicine. Both require maintaining collaborative practice agreements with supervising physicians and keeping credentials current through continuing education.

Which companies hire nurse practitioner or physician assistants in Virginia?

Employers hiring nurse practitioner or physician assistants in Virginia right now include Mary Washington Healthcare, Matrix Medical Network, and University of Virginia, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Virginia's mix of large academic medical centers, regional health systems, and federally supported community health clinics creates consistent demand for advanced practice providers across the state.

Which Virginia cities have the most nurse practitioner or physician assistant jobs?

Fredericksburg, Virginia, and Norfolk account for the most nurse practitioner or physician assistant openings in Virginia. Northern Virginia and Richmond lead due to the concentration of large health systems and hospital networks there, while Hampton Roads sustains steady volume through its military treatment facilities, Sentara campuses, and growing outpatient infrastructure serving one of the state's largest population centers.

Are there remote nurse practitioner or physician assistant jobs in Virginia?

Yes, but they're rare. Most nurse practitioner and physician assistant roles require direct patient contact, making fully remote positions uncommon. About 32% of nurse practitioner or physician assistant openings tied to Virginia are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those that exist are most often in telehealth primary care, chronic disease management, or utilization review rather than procedural or acute care roles.

How can I get hired as a nurse practitioner or physician assistant in Virginia with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying to new-graduate or residency programs run by Virginia health systems such as Inova, Sentara, or VCU Health, which offer structured transition-to-practice programs for advanced practice providers. Candidates who already hold RN or PA-C licensure can pursue lateral moves from staff nurse or clinical coordinator roles that provide visibility into open NP or PA positions. Completing your clinical rotations at target Virginia employers and obtaining your DEA registration before applying gives you a clear edge over candidates who are still pending those credentials.

Where can I find and apply to nurse practitioner or physician assistant jobs in Virginia?

You can find and apply to nurse practitioner or physician assistant jobs in Virginia on Migrate Mate, which lists current Virginia openings from employers hiring now. Find roles that fit your specialty and experience level and apply directly.
