Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist Jobs in Tennessee: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a certified registered nurse anesthetist in Tennessee?

You must hold an active advanced practice registered nurse license with a CRNA designation issued by the Tennessee Board of Nursing, which requires completing an accredited nurse anesthesia program at the master's or doctoral level and passing the National Certification Examination administered by the National Board of Certification and Recertification for Nurse Anesthetists. Tennessee requires a collaborative practice agreement or independent practice authorization depending on your practice setting, so confirming your practice model with the Board before accepting a position is an important early step.

How much do certified registered nurse anesthetists make in Tennessee?

Certified registered nurse 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 certified registered nurse anesthetists in Tennessee?

Employers hiring certified registered nurse 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 high concentration of HCA-affiliated hospitals, large academic systems, and independent surgical centers means CRNA openings are distributed across both major metros and smaller regional facilities throughout the state.

Which Tennessee cities have the most certified registered nurse anesthetist jobs?

Memphis, Nashville, and Tennessee have the most certified registered nurse anesthetist openings in Tennessee. Nashville leads because of its density of HCA Healthcare corporate facilities and Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Memphis draws demand from large regional systems and the Elvis Presley Trauma Center at Regional One Health, and Knoxville reflects consistent surgical volume tied to Covenant Health and the University of Tennessee Medical Center.

Are there remote certified registered nurse anesthetist jobs in Tennessee?

Yes, but they're rare. Certified registered nurse anesthesia is a hands-on clinical role that requires physical presence in an operating room or procedural suite, so fully remote positions are uncommon. About 17% of certified registered nurse anesthetist openings tied to Tennessee are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those arrangements typically cover telehealth pre-assessment consultations or administrative and educational CRNA roles rather than direct anesthesia delivery.

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

The most realistic entry path is a CRNA residency or supervised transition-to-practice program, and several large Tennessee systems including Vanderbilt University Medical Center and HCA-affiliated hospitals offer structured onboarding for newly certified CRNAs. Candidates coming from ICU nursing backgrounds have a strong foundation that Tennessee employers recognize, and obtaining your Tennessee APRN license with CRNA designation promptly after passing your certification exam positions you ahead of candidates who delay licensure. Rural critical access hospitals across East and Middle Tennessee also recruit new CRNAs more actively than urban surgical centers and offer meaningful supervised caseload diversity early in a career.

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

You can find and apply to certified registered nurse anesthetist jobs in Tennessee on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from Tennessee employers across Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, and surrounding areas.
