State Insights
Colorado at a Glance
Contract PMHNP positions in Colorado are typically defined-term W-2 engagements (90 days to 24 months) booked through staffing agencies, with agency-provided malpractice. Distinct from 1099 independent contracting, contract roles preserve employer payroll-tax handling and often include short-term health coverage, which is why the hourly rate and the salaried equivalent are not directly comparable. Colorado grants full practice authority with independent prescribing and no physician oversight. The 8 active postings reflect a smaller pool of openings for PMHNPs in Colorado.
Colorado PMHNPs practice independently. New prescribers start with provisional prescriptive authority, which becomes full after a 750-hour prescribing mentorship with a physician or an APRN with full prescriptive authority (C.R.S. 12-255-112).
