State Insights
Alaska at a Glance
Part-time PMHNP roles in Alaska generally pay $60–$100 per hour and run 16–32 scheduled hours weekly, with prorated benefits at larger health systems and none at smaller practices. The structure is popular for clinicians maintaining a private practice on the side or stepping down from a full caseload. Alaska grants full practice authority — independent prescribing without physician oversight, and the state's cost of living near the national average (index 100) directly shapes PMHNP compensation expectations. Top metros in Alaska are not currently federally designated mental health shortage areas, but regional psychiatric demand and reimbursement structure shape compensation. The 1 active postings reflect a smaller pool of openings for PMHNPs in the state.
PMHNPs in Alaska can practice independently, including prescribing controlled substances, without physician oversight.
