Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a pediatric nurse practitioner in Florida?
To practice as a pediatric nurse practitioner in Florida, you must hold an active Advanced Practice Registered Nurse license issued by the Florida Board of Nursing, which requires completing an accredited graduate-level NP program and passing a national certification exam recognized by the board, such as the CPNP-PC or CPNP-AC from the Pediatric Nursing Certification Board. Florida also requires a supervising or collaborative physician protocol for prescriptive authority.
How much do pediatric nurse practitioners make in Florida?
Pediatric nurse practitioners in Florida earn a median of about $129,510 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $101,920 for the lowest 10% to over $163,600 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire pediatric nurse practitioners in Florida?
Employers hiring pediatric nurse practitioners in Florida right now include Nemours Children's Health, Privia Medical, and BayCare Health System, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Florida's large integrated health systems and freestanding children's hospitals drive a significant share of ongoing openings, particularly across South Florida, the Tampa Bay area, and Central Florida.
Which Florida cities have the most pediatric nurse practitioner jobs?
The Florida cities with the most pediatric nurse practitioner openings are Orlando, Tampa, and Lakeland. Miami anchors demand through its dense concentration of children's hospitals and large pediatric group practices, while Orlando and Tampa generate consistent volume from regional health systems with dedicated pediatric service lines and suburban community clinics serving rapidly expanding family populations.
Are there remote pediatric nurse practitioner jobs in Florida?
Yes, but they're rare. Pediatric nurse practitioner work is inherently hands-on, and most roles require in-person patient assessment, which limits remote options significantly. About 0% of pediatric nurse practitioner openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions tend to concentrate in telehealth triage, care management, or chronic disease follow-up rather than primary diagnosis.
How can I get hired as a pediatric nurse practitioner in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a new-graduate NP residency or fellowship program, and Florida has strong options through Nicklaus Children's Hospital and Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital, both of which run structured programs designed for NPs without independent practice experience. Candidates coming from pediatric RN roles in Florida hospitals have a measurable edge, and holding an active CPNP certification and a Florida APRN license before applying shortens the hiring timeline considerably.
Where can I find and apply to pediatric nurse practitioner jobs in Florida?
You can find and apply to pediatric nurse practitioner jobs in Florida on Migrate Mate, which lists current Florida openings updated regularly. Search the listings for roles that match your specialty, experience level, and preferred location, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
