Locum tenens NP jobs are contract roles designed to fill gaps in care at healthcare facilities over a specific timeframe. These assignments can range from a week to well over a year. Locum and travel nurse practitioners hold all the same qualifications as a permanent nurse practitioner, and often choose locum work for higher pay and increased flexibility. Explore our locum tenens guide to learn more.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, NPs in California earn an average of $161,540 a year.
Nurse practitioners have restricted practice authority in California. Restricted scope of practice means state laws restrict the ability for NPs to practice in at least one element. They require a career-long supervision or management by another healthcare provider.
NPs in California are required to complete 30 hours of CE every two years, in order to renew or maintain their license.
Acute care nurse practitioners are the highest paid NP specialty.
