State Insights
Pennsylvania at a Glance
Contract NP positions in Pennsylvania 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. Pennsylvania grants reduced practice authority requiring a collaborative agreement with a physician, and the state's cost of living near the national average (index 96) directly shapes NP compensation expectations. 2 of the state's top metros carry federal Health Professional Shortage Area designation, so positions in those areas typically qualify for NHSC Loan Repayment. The current 68 active postings reflect strong demand for nurse practitioners across Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania requires a collaborative agreement for PMHNP practice.
