What is the average outpatient PMHNP salary?

What does a typical outpatient PMHNP schedule look like?

Most outpatient positions offer Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm schedules with no nights, weekends, or on-call requirements. Typical caseloads are 12-20 patients per day for medication management, or 6-8 if integrating therapy. Many clinics offer 4-day work weeks.

Can outpatient PMHNPs start their own private practice?
