Why This Tennessee Emergency Medicine PA/NP Role Stands Out

Strong emergency medicine openings for advanced practice providers do not stay open for long. This one pairs a competitive rate with the flexibility of locum work. At $120/hour, you are paid well for every shift you cover.

The role is open to both professions. Whether you are a certified physician assistant or a nurse practitioner, the facility wants a provider who is comfortable in a busy emergency department.

That makes this Tennessee emergency medicine PA/NP assignment a smart fit for experienced APPs who want higher pay without a long-term contract.

What You Will Do in the Emergency Department

You will join an established ED team and work alongside emergency physicians, nurses, and support staff. Typical duties include:

• Evaluating, treating, and dispositioning patients across a range of acuity levels
• Performing procedures within your scope and privileges, such as laceration repair, splinting, and incision and drainage
• Ordering and interpreting labs, imaging, and ECGs to reach fast, accurate diagnoses
• Collaborating with the attending emergency physician on complex or high-acuity cases
• Coordinating admissions, transfers, and specialist consults
• Completing clear, timely documentation in the facility’s electronic health record

Who Should Apply: Physician Assistants and Nurse Practitioners

We are looking for a confident, adaptable Tennessee emergency medicine PA/NP who can hit the ground running. Ideal candidates will have:

• Graduation from an accredited physician assistant or nurse practitioner program
• Current national certification, such as PA-C through the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA), or NP board certification through AANPCB or ANCC
• An active Tennessee license, or eligibility to obtain one through the Tennessee health professional boards
• Recent emergency department or urgent care experience
• Current DEA registration and life support certifications as required by the facility (for example BLS, ACLS, and PALS)
• A clean malpractice history and the ability to pass hospital credentialing

Final eligibility depends on the facility’s credentialing standards. Our recruiters will review your background with you before submission, so you know where you stand from the start.

This Tennessee emergency medicine PA/NP opportunity pays $120 per hour, for physician assistants and nurse practitioners alike.
