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. The 19 active postings reflect moderate demand for PMHNPs in Virginia.
Virginia PMHNPs practice and prescribe under a practice agreement with a patient care team physician. After the equivalent of three years of full-time clinical experience, attested by a patient care team physician or a qualifying nurse practitioner, they can be licensed for autonomous practice (Va. Code 54.1-2957, 54.1-2957.01).
