State Insights
Kentucky at a Glance
Full-time PMHNP positions in Kentucky typically bundle employer-sponsored health insurance, 401(k) match, CME allowance, malpractice coverage, and 3–4 weeks of PTO into a $130K–$190K base. Total-comp comparisons against contract or per-diem rates should net out the benefits self-funded employers don't have to cover. Kentucky grants reduced practice authority requiring a collaborative agreement with a physician, and the state's below-average cost of living (index 87) directly shapes PMHNP compensation expectations. 1 of the state's top metros carry federal Mental Health Professional Shortage Area designation, so positions in those areas typically qualify for NHSC Loan Repayment. The current 22 active postings reflect moderate demand for psychiatric nurse practitioners across Kentucky.
Kentucky requires a collaborative agreement for PMHNP practice.
