sel926pa Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Hello All.. I am new to the forum. I work in EM in Florida and am looking to relocated to the Nashville area. I am looking to establish some professional contacts in the area. I am most interested in practice climate for PAs and salary. Please contact me if you can share any information. Thank you. Sincerely, Shawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akdEM Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Hi Troy, I was searching some info on Nashville EM jobs and I found this old post. Are you still around and could you maybe give some info about the EM job market around Nashville? How receptive are the hospitals around there to PAs in the ED and what are salaries like? Any info would be great! -Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troygem Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Hey Andy, PA's are used in most of the ED's in Nashville and middle TN. EMcare dominates the market except for Vanderbilt where the have a massive NP school. Pay from EMcare in my opinion is pretty decent-- high hourly with minimal other benefits.

SRCumpston Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I work in EM in Nashville as well. I'd agree with Troy. I was working for a small independent EM staffing company which I loved but EmCare recently got our contract as well as most of the last remaining independent groups in the area. Vanderbilt is its own, of course, and as Troy mentioned mostly uses NPs. St Thomas has two hospitals in Nashville but last I heard they do their own staffing and don't use midlevels in the ED. Williamson is in Franklin and still has a contract with a small group and is PA friendly. I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akdEM Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 It seems like EMcare and TeamHealth really dominate the entire state of Tennessee. Is that the case? I really want to find a job in either Nashville, Knoxville or Chattanooga, but the idea of working for one of the nationwide groups worries me a little. It seems like they often tend to minimize the role of the PA or relegate us to fast track and triage...Also, how would you say PAs are treated overall in Tennessee? I'm from Georgia originally and went to school in Kentucky. Kentucky was not particularly PA friendly, but it is improving. I get the sense that Tennessee may be a similar situation.

narcan Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Emcare will relegate you mainly to fast track and triage but the pay is pretty good I hear. Don't know anything about TeamHealth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator LT_Oneal_PAC Posted March 5, 2016 Moderator Share Posted March 5, 2016 My buddy works for teamhealth and loves it. Sounds like a pretty good situation from what I hear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
