PMHNP Job Market in CA

Published

My family has finally decided we are relocating to California by end of this year. I am getting ready to start the endorsement process for CA which I am definitely not trilled about. We are looking at Sacramento Area and Riverside County ( Temecula) area depending on where I can land a good job. 

I am reaching to see what are the salary ranges around these areas? When I look at jobs on both indeed and Glassdoor, the range is far and wide, difficult to narrow it down. I currently work IP Psych and love it so will preferable like that setting. I am open to both Psych NP and FNP as I currently have both certificates. I have 4 years as a FNP and 2 as a Psych NP. 

Thanks

Both Riverside (Temecula area) and Sacramento are super saturated with FNPs and  Psych NPs.  I'm not one but my friends who work both inpatient and outpatient state typical salary offers are around $125k to $135k a year.  Regular family FNP jobs are offering flat rate of $60 to $65 an hour.
