State Insights
Kentucky at a Glance
Part-time PMHNP roles in Kentucky 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. Kentucky grants reduced practice authority requiring a collaborative agreement with a physician, and the state's cost of living near the national average (index 100) directly shapes PMHNP compensation expectations. Top metros in Kentucky 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.
