State Insights
Florida at a Glance
Contract PMHNP positions in Florida 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. Florida grants restricted practice authority requiring physician supervision. The 8 active postings reflect a smaller pool of openings for PMHNPs in Florida.
Florida PMHNPs practice and prescribe under a written protocol with a supervising physician. After 3,000 physician-supervised clinical hours within five years and the required coursework, an APRN can register for autonomous practice in primary care, which a board rule defines to include behavioral and mental health (Fla. Stat. 464.012, 464.0123).
