State Insights
Georgia at a Glance
Contract PMHNP positions in Georgia are typically defined-term W-2 engagements (90 days to 24 months) booked through staffing agencies, paying $90–$150 per hour with agency-provided malpractice. Distinct from 1099 independent contracting, contract roles preserve employer payroll-tax handling and often include short-term health coverage. Georgia grants restricted practice authority requiring physician supervision, and the state's cost of living near the national average (index 100) directly shapes PMHNP compensation expectations. Top metros in Georgia are not currently federally designated mental health shortage areas, but regional psychiatric demand and reimbursement structure shape compensation. The 5 active postings reflect a smaller pool of openings for PMHNPs in the state.
Georgia requires PMHNPs to practice under physician supervision with a protocol agreement.
