State Insights
California at a Glance
Part-time PMHNP roles in California run 16 to 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. Openings are thin enough here that most clinicians pair one with telehealth coverage. California grants restricted practice authority requiring physician supervision. The 13 active postings reflect moderate demand for PMHNPs in California.
California PMHNPs practice under standardized procedures with a supervising physician. Under AB 890, a 103 NP (after a 4,600-hour transition to practice) may work without them in a group setting with a physician, and a 104 NP (after three years as a 103 NP) may practice independently (Bus. & Prof. Code 2837.103, 2837.104).
