State Insights
Missouri at a Glance
Contract PMHNP positions in Missouri 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. Missouri grants restricted practice authority requiring physician supervision. The 4 active postings reflect a smaller pool of openings for PMHNPs in Missouri.
Missouri requires PMHNPs to have a collaborative practice arrangement with physician supervision.
