State Insights
Virginia at a Glance
Contract PMHNP positions in Virginia 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. Virginia 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 Virginia 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.
Virginia requires a practice agreement with a supervising physician for PMHNPs.
