Nurse practitioners are in demand. The number of advanced providers, including nurse practitioners, is expected to be 38% between 2022 and 2032, which is considered much faster than average. This is approximately 123,600 more jobs. This growth is excellent for nurse practitioners as it provides more opportunities and settings for the NP to care for patients.
So, how many nurse practitioner job openings are in your state? Below, you will find the nurse practitioner job openings by state in 2024.
What are the Total Number of Annual Job Openings for Nurse Practitioners in the United States?

Which Industries Have the Most Number of Nurse Practitioner Job Openings Being Created?
Nurse practitioners are in demand. There is a growing need due to the predicted physician shortage and the aging population. Below are the
five healthcare industries that employ the most nurse practitioners and expect to demonstrate the most growth over the next 5-10 years.
1. Offices of Physicians
Physicians' offices employ the most nurse practitioners. Currently, 122,830 nurse practitioners work in a physician's office, or almost 4.5% of practicing NPs.
2. General Medical and Surgical Hospitals
General medical and surgical hospitals come in second for employing the most nurse practitioners. While they come in second, the number of NPs employed within this setting is over 50% less than physician offices—at 58,080 nurse practitioners.
3. Outpatient Care Centers
Outpatient care centers currently employ 23,760 nurse practitioners.
4. Offices of Other Health Practitioners
Offices of other health practitioners currently employ 10,950 nurse practitioners. These include other NP-run offices, medical spas, and even chiropractic or audiologist clinics.
5. Home Health Care Services
Home health care services come in 5th for employing the most nurse practitioners. There are currently 2,100 nurse practitioners working in this setting, and it will be interesting to see how this number grows. I have seen growth over the last five years of NPs providing home health care services, whether as a primary care provider, performing Medicare wellness checks, or even providing wound care.
