Your Fusion recruiter will verify your license status and guide you through any necessary steps to ensure you meet Tennessee's requirements before your Medical Surg RN assignment begins, including assistance with compact license verification or state licensure applications if needed.

Beyond these core requirements, many Tennessee facilities prefer or require ACLS certification for med-surg roles, particularly in acute care settings. Your recruiter can help clarify facility-specific preferences during placement—some employers may request specialty certifications like CMSRN (Certified Medical-Surgical Registered Nurse) depending on the unit focus. License applications typically process via mail or PDF submission, and compact status streamlines multi-state opportunities if you're considering assignments beyond Tennessee.
