State Insights
Oklahoma at a Glance
Contract NP positions in Oklahoma 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. Oklahoma grants restricted practice authority requiring physician supervision, and the state's cost of living near the national average (index 100) directly shapes NP compensation expectations. Top metros in Oklahoma are not currently federally designated health professional shortage areas, but regional demand for NPs and reimbursement structure shape compensation. The 3 active postings reflect a smaller pool of openings for NPs in the state.
Oklahoma requires physician supervision for PMHNPs.
