How Much Does an NP Make in Nevada in 2026?

A typical NP in Nevada earns about $67.63 per hour ($140,670 per year), per the latest government wage data (May 2025). Calculated from that annual figure, monthly pay works out to roughly $11,722. The same math puts weekly earnings near $2,705. Those numbers describe full-time work across all practice settings in the state.

Nevada pays about 6% above the national figure of $132,300 a year, or $63.61 an hour. That places the state 8th out of 51 ranked states and territories for NP pay. The workforce is small by comparison, with roughly 1,930 nurse practitioners working in Nevada against 323,040 nationwide.

Entry-level positions in Nevada typically offer around $41.05 an hour, which comes to about $85,380 a year. Pay usually climbs with the first few years of practice. Many NPs move past $110,160 annually in that stretch, and the state typical figure of $140,670 comes within reach.

Experienced NPs in Nevada often earn upwards of $161,760 a year, or about $77.77 an hour. The top 10% of earners make over $172,170, close to $82.77 an hour. That leaves a spread of $86,790 between the entry-level figure and the top of the range. Practice setting, years on the job, and which city you work in account for most of that gap.

Nevada NP pay stood at $99,050 a year in 2015. By 2025 the typical figure had reached $140,670. That is a gain of $41,620, a rise of 42% over the decade. The climb was steady rather than sudden, with increases recorded in most years along the way.

National NP pay rose 35% over the same ten years, so Nevada moved a little faster than the country as a whole. For someone entering the field now, that record shows where pay has gone, not where it will go. Wages have moved up over the past decade, and the current figures are the ones to plan around.

Las Vegas pays Nevada NPs the most, at $144,060 a year or $69.26 an hour. That sits about 2% above the state figure. Henderson and North Las Vegas report the same pay, since city figures cover each city's full metro area. Reno is the other reported market in the state.

Reno is the lowest of the reported cities at $137,360 a year, close to $66.04 an hour. The gap between the highest and lowest city comes to $6,700, so pay is fairly close across Nevada. Las Vegas holds the largest NP workforce, with about 1,390 of the state's jobs. Higher pay in a metro area usually tracks higher living costs there.

California pays NPs the most in the region, at $168,520 a year, roughly 20% above Nevada. Oregon follows at $155,680, about 11% higher. Nevada pays more than its other neighbors: Arizona at $134,420, Idaho at $132,540, and Utah at $130,920, which runs about 7% below the Nevada figure. A license held in one state can often be transferred or endorsed into a nearby one, so checking the requirements next door is worth the time.
