Nurse Practitioner pay in China: Beijing leads, Chengdu trails

The China national median for a nurse practitioner is ¥762,000 a year. Among 6 metros with observed data, pay runs from about ¥397,000 in Chengdu to ¥598,000 in Beijing (1.5×).

Nurse practitioners diagnose conditions, prescribe treatment, and manage patient care with advanced training. Common screening skills include Diagnosis, Prescribing, Primary care, and EMR.

A modeled national band runs about ¥556,300–¥1,013,500 around that midpoint. Licensing and immigration rules are independent of this cash sort. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +45% over a decade — a national demand guess, not a hiring guarantee in every Chinese city.

Beijing sits -22% vs the national median; Chengdu sits -48%. Relocating inside China for this title can move cash more than a small raise at the same desk. Open a city page for take-home and rent context — this national page is the map, not the offer.

China shows about 0.1% CPI in 2025. A nurse practitioner raise that trails inflation is a real-pay cut even if it still beats last year’s peers. This occupation is also covered in 39 other countries — useful for remote or relocation shortlists, after FX and local tax. Nearby healthcare titles on this site include Registered Nurse, Physician, Pharmacist, and Physical Therapist.

Start with the national median (¥762,000), then pick the metro where you would actually work. Observed city rows below are stronger than a pay-index guess. If your city is missing, stay on this page for the country figure and check the China hub for other careers.

Convert gross through the salary calculator before comparing two cities — tax and rent often reorder a cash ranking. Figures are estimates for research, not employer bands.
