Illinois requires employers to publish a pay range with every posting. These are the ranges Illinois hospitals put on their own nurse practitioner and physician assistant postings, not survey estimates.
As of September 2026, 87 NP / PA postings from 5 Illinois hospitals list an hourly range; the median posted midpoint is $62.65 per hour, the middle half of postings sits between $59.42 and $64.25, and the widest posted range runs $45.53 to $80. Figures come from employers' own job postings and refresh nightly.
