State Insights
Michigan at a Glance
Contract PMHNP positions in Michigan 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. Michigan grants restricted practice authority requiring physician supervision. The 6 active postings reflect a smaller pool of openings for PMHNPs in Michigan.
Michigan PMHNPs can prescribe non-scheduled drugs on their own authority. Schedule II to V controlled substances can be prescribed only as a delegated act of a physician, under a written authorization the physician reviews each year (MCL 333.17211a; Mich. Admin. Code R 338.2411 and R 338.119).
