State Insights
Kentucky at a Glance
Full-time NP positions in Kentucky typically bundle employer-sponsored health insurance, 401(k) match, CME allowance, malpractice coverage, and 3–4 weeks of PTO into a $130K–$190K base. Total-comp comparisons against contract or per-diem rates should net out the benefits self-funded employers don't have to cover. Kentucky 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 Kentucky are not currently federally designated health professional shortage areas, but regional demand for NPs and reimbursement structure shape compensation. The 9 active postings reflect a smaller pool of openings for NPs in the state.
Kentucky requires a collaborative agreement for PMHNP practice.
