State Insights
Pennsylvania at a Glance
Contract PMHNP positions in Pennsylvania 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. Pennsylvania grants reduced practice authority requiring a collaborative agreement with a physician, and the state's cost of living near the national average (index 95) directly shapes PMHNP compensation expectations. Top metros in Pennsylvania are not currently federally designated mental health shortage areas, but regional psychiatric demand and reimbursement structure shape compensation. The 14 active postings reflect moderate demand for PMHNPs in the state.
Pennsylvania requires a collaborative agreement for PMHNP practice.
