State Insights
Ohio at a Glance
Contract NP positions in Ohio are typically defined-term W-2 engagements (90 days to 24 months) booked through staffing agencies, paying $90–$150 per hour with agency-provided malpractice. Distinct from 1099 independent contracting, contract roles preserve employer payroll-tax handling and often include short-term health coverage. Ohio 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 NP compensation expectations. Top metros in Ohio are not currently federally designated health professional shortage areas, but regional demand for NPs and reimbursement structure shape compensation. The 4 active postings reflect a smaller pool of openings for NPs in the state.
Ohio PMHNPs must have a standard care arrangement with a collaborating physician.
