PMHNPjobs in California.

This page lists 5 travel PMHNP positions in California right now, refreshed as employers post and roles close.

California grants restricted practice authority requiring physician supervision. That applies to travel roles the same as to any other setting, and it is the single biggest difference between practicing here and in a neighboring state.

The employers with the most travel PMHNP postings in California on this page are FCS - Psychiatric Recruitment, Provider Healthcare, and LocumTenens.com. The list moves with hiring, so it reflects who is actively recruiting rather than who is largest.

Across the travel listings on this page, the advertised pay averages about $134K a year in California. Individual postings show their own range wherever the employer discloses one, and the California salary guide breaks the same data down by setting.

The top California 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.

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