Anesthetist Jobs in Tennessee: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a anesthetist in Tennessee?

CRNAs in Tennessee must hold an active license issued by the Tennessee Board of Nursing and complete an accredited graduate-level nurse anesthesia program followed by national certification through the NBCRNA. Physician anesthesiologists are licensed by the Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners after completing medical school and an accredited anesthesiology residency. Both pathways require ongoing continuing education to maintain active licensure in the state.

How much do anesthetists make in Tennessee?

Anesthetists in Tennessee earn a median of about $211,450 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $167,480 for the lowest 10% to over $286,630 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire anesthetists in Tennessee?

Employers hiring anesthetists in Tennessee right now include LifeLinc Anesthesia, Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare, and Somnia, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Tennessee's large integrated health systems and affiliated surgical centers tend to post the most consistent volume, particularly in the Nashville and Memphis metro areas.

Which Tennessee cities have the most anesthetist jobs?

Memphis, Nashville, and Tennessee have the most anesthetist openings in Tennessee. Nashville leads because of its dense concentration of major hospital systems and academic medical centers, while Memphis draws significant volume from large regional referral centers, and Knoxville benefits from University of Tennessee Health System facilities and surrounding regional hospitals that serve East Tennessee's broader population.

Are there remote anesthetist jobs in Tennessee?

Yes, but they're rare. Anesthesia is a hands-on clinical discipline that requires physical presence in operating rooms and procedural suites, so fully remote roles are uncommon. About 13% of anesthetist openings tied to Tennessee are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions typically involve administrative, supervisory, or telemedicine consultation duties rather than direct patient anesthesia care.

How can I get hired as a anesthetist in Tennessee with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying to new-graduate CRNA residency or fellowship programs run by large Tennessee systems such as Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Regional One Health in Memphis, which are designed for candidates with limited independent practice experience. New graduates can also target staff CRNA roles at community hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers across Middle and East Tennessee, where supervision structures support early-career practitioners. Holding an unencumbered Tennessee Board of Nursing license and NBCRNA certification from an accredited program gives candidates the strongest footing.

Where can I find and apply to anesthetist jobs in Tennessee?

You can find and apply to anesthetist jobs in Tennessee on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Find roles that fit your experience and specialty, then apply directly to the employers posting them.
