Alaska at a Glance
Part-time PMHNP roles in Alaska generally pay $60–$100 per hour and run 16–32 scheduled hours weekly, with prorated benefits at larger health systems and none at smaller practices. The structure is popular for clinicians maintaining a private practice on the side or stepping down from a full caseload. Alaska grants full practice authority — independent prescribing without physician oversight, and the state's above-average cost of living (index 125) directly shapes PMHNP compensation expectations. 1 of the state's top metros carry federal Mental Health Professional Shortage Area designation, so positions in those areas typically qualify for NHSC Loan Repayment. The current 1 active postings reflect a smaller pool of openings for psychiatric nurse practitioners across Alaska.
