Psychiatry — Nurse Practitioner Career Context

Of the 50 active Psychiatry listings this role was benchmarked against, 24% are remote, 54% have no call, 60% require no weekends.

Psychiatry pay on WeekdayDoc is up 1.8% vs. the prior quarter (through Sep 2026).

The cost-of-living index for Texas is 97.1 (US average = 100; BEA Regional Price Parities (2024)), so the posted ~$138k midpoint carries the purchasing power of roughly $142k in an average-cost state. 57.7% of Texas clinicians report burnout symptoms in WeekdayDoc's Burnout Index (2026-01 data).

Location & Logistics
