While the city of Nashville is known for music, it also lays claim to another title. Forbes calls Music City The Health Services Capital of the U.S. That’s partially because more patients receive healthcare services in Nashville and throughout the surrounding area than any other metropolitan area. Nursing jobs in Nashville are also high profile. Of the 62,250 nurses in Tennessee, nearly one-third work in the Nashville metro area.

Nashville also earned its stature in healthcare when it was the first to implement the idea of “hospital systems,” where individual hospital facilities could achieve economies of scale by forming a relationship or an overall system. Hospital Corporation of America (HCA), based in Nashville, was the first of these systems.

Three of the country’s well-known nursing schools are located in Nashville. Vanderbilt University School of Nursing is known for its graduate nursing programs. Belmont University’s School of Nursing has a full menu of nursing options from beginning nursing students to accelerated BSN and RN to BSN programs. Middle Tennessee School of Anesthesia is the only independent and accredited institution of its kind.
