Tennessee NP practice environment

Tennessee is classified as a restricted practice state by AANP, which means NPs need physician supervision, delegation or team management for at least one element of practice. Tennessee NPs practice under a supervising physician, with requirements for chart review and site visits.

Practice laws change often. Confirm current rules with the Tennessee Board of Nursing and AANP’s State Practice Environment map.
