NP Jobs in Tennessee: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a np in Tennessee?

To practice as an NP in Tennessee, you must hold an active Advanced Practice Registered Nurse license issued by the Tennessee Board of Nursing. You must first complete a graduate-level nursing program at the master's or doctoral level, then pass a national certification exam through ANCC or AANP in your specialty. Tennessee requires NPs to maintain a collaborative agreement with a physician for prescriptive authority, so securing that agreement before or shortly after licensure is a practical early step.

Which companies hire nps in Tennessee?

Employers hiring nps in Tennessee right now include Vanderbilt Health, Carease Health, and Fast Pace Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Tennessee's large integrated health systems and federally qualified health centers across both urban and rural counties make up a significant share of consistent openings statewide.

Which Tennessee cities have the most np jobs?

Nashville, Memphis, and Cookeville account for the largest concentration of np openings in Tennessee. Nashville leads because of its dense cluster of major health system headquarters and academic medical centers, while Memphis and Knoxville generate strong hiring volumes through regional hospital networks and university-affiliated practices that anchor clinical employment across their metro areas.

Are there remote np jobs in Tennessee?

Yes, but they're rare. Most NP work is hands-on and tied to a clinical setting, which limits fully remote opportunities by the nature of the role. About 36% of np openings tied to Tennessee are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and the positions that do qualify tend to be telehealth roles in behavioral health or chronic disease management rather than primary care.

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

The most realistic entry path is applying to new-graduate NP residency or fellowship programs, which HCA Healthcare and Vanderbilt University Medical Center both operate within Tennessee for NPs transitioning directly from school. Community health organizations and rural health clinics across the state also hire new graduates, particularly in family practice and psychiatric-mental health. Completing your Tennessee collaborative practice agreement before graduation, holding an active AANP or ANCC certification, and having strong clinical rotation hours in your specialty all strengthen an entry-level application.

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