Tennessee Overview
Working as an NP in Tennessee
Tennessee currently has 23 active nurse practitioner postings from 9 employers, with hiring concentrated in Cookeville, Jacksboro, and Chattanooga. By posting volume, the most active categories right now are Full-Time, Nurse Midwife, and Psychiatric Mental Health. On the regulatory side, AANP places Tennessee in its restricted practice category. AANP uses this category where state law restricts the ability of NPs to engage in at least one element of NP practice, for example through supervision, delegation or team management by another health provider. States in the same category still set different requirements, so check the Tennessee rules themselves before applying. No median is published for Tennessee postings yet, so compare compensation posting by posting. Tennessee's Nurse Licensure Compact membership covers the RN license beneath the APRN credential. The APRN license itself is still issued by Tennessee.
Posted pay in Tennessee
9 postings in Tennessee state a salary from 6 employers. A state median appears once at least 5 postings from at least 3 employers list annual pay for an NP role, with no single employer above 40% of them. The national median for nurse practitioners is $132,300 (BLS OEWS, Nurse Practitioners (29-1171), median annual wage, May 2025).
Work mode and schedule
2 of 23 open roles are remote, 2 are hybrid and 19 are on site.
Where employers list a schedule, Full-Time leads with 18, then Part-Time (2) and Per Diem (2).
Remote roles still name the states they require licensure in, so check each posting before applying.
