Do PMHNPs have full practice authority in Utah?

Which employers hire outpatient PMHNPs in Utah?

The employers with the most outpatient PMHNP postings in Utah on this page are LifeStance Health. The list moves with hiring, so it reflects who is actively recruiting rather than who is largest.

What do outpatient PMHNP jobs in Utah pay?

Across the outpatient listings on this page, the advertised pay averages about $223K a year in Utah. Individual postings show their own range wherever the employer discloses one, and the Utah salary guide breaks the same data down by setting.

Do outpatient PMHNP roles in Utah qualify for federal loan repayment?

The top Utah metros on this page are not currently federally designated shortage areas, so eligibility turns on the individual site's HPSA score rather than the city. HRSA sets each cycle's award amounts and service terms.

What licenses do I need for outpatient PMHNP work in Utah?

You need PMHNP national certification, an active UT RN license and UT APRN license, and DEA registration for controlled substances. A Nurse Licensure Compact multistate license covers RN practice, not APRN practice, so Utah APRN licensure is required even if you hold a compact RN license elsewhere.
