Advanced Practice Provider Jobs in Tennessee: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a advanced practice provider in Tennessee?
To become an advanced practice provider in Tennessee, you must complete a graduate-level clinical program and obtain the appropriate state license. Nurse practitioners apply to the Tennessee Board of Nursing for APRN licensure, while physician assistants apply to the Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners. Both require passing a national certification exam. APRNs in Tennessee must also have a written collaborative practice agreement with a physician to prescribe medications.
How much do advanced practice providers make in Tennessee?
Advanced practice providers in Tennessee earn a median of about $117,590 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $82,790 for the lowest 10% to over $137,880 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire advanced practice providers in Tennessee?
Employers hiring advanced practice providers in Tennessee right now include TriStar Health, One to One Health, and Vanderbilt Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Tennessee's large integrated health systems and expanding rural federally qualified health centers are among the most active sources of ongoing openings across the state.
Which Tennessee cities have the most advanced practice provider jobs?
Nashville, Chattanooga, and Knoxville have the most advanced practice provider openings in Tennessee. Nashville drives the largest share of demand as the base for major health systems such as HCA Healthcare and Vanderbilt, while Memphis supports strong volume through its medical district and regional hospital networks, and Knoxville benefits from Ballad Health and University of Tennessee Medical Center anchoring clinical hiring across the eastern part of the state.
Are there remote advanced practice provider jobs in Tennessee?
Yes, but they're rare. Advanced practice provider work is inherently hands-on, so most roles require on-site presence for patient care. About 39% of advanced practice provider openings tied to Tennessee are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, concentrated largely in telehealth primary care, behavioral health, and utilization review or case management positions that do not require direct physical examination.
How can I get hired as a advanced practice provider in Tennessee with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly to new-graduate or transitional NP and PA programs run by large Tennessee health systems such as Vanderbilt University Medical Center and HCA Healthcare, which offer structured onboarding for candidates without independent post-graduate experience. Roles in family medicine clinics, urgent care centers, and federally qualified health centers across rural Tennessee tend to be more open to early-career providers than competitive specialty practices. Completing your collaborative practice agreement requirements and securing AANP or ANCC certification before applying strengthens any application significantly.
Where can I find and apply to advanced practice provider jobs in Tennessee?
You can find and apply to advanced practice provider jobs in Tennessee on Migrate Mate, which lists current Tennessee openings across health systems, outpatient clinics, and specialty practices throughout the state. Find the roles that fit your specialty and experience level and apply directly to the employers posting them.
