Higher hourly rates, complete schedule flexibility, no mandatory overtime, and the ability to work at multiple facilities. Ideal for those who value autonomy.

Who It's Best For

PMHNPs who have benefits through a spouse, those semi-retired, parents wanting flexible schedules, or those testing different practice settings.

Getting Started
