State Insights
Virginia at a Glance
Contract NP positions in Virginia 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. Virginia 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 Virginia are not currently federally designated health professional shortage areas, but regional demand for NPs and reimbursement structure shape compensation. The 17 active postings reflect moderate demand for NPs in the state.
Virginia requires a practice agreement with a supervising physician for PMHNPs.
