More about Tennessee State Veterans Homes Board
The RN Supervisor posting here is full-time evenings, 3pm to 11pm, Monday through Friday — you oversee the nursing staff, keep an eye on quality-care compliance, and coordinate the team on that shift. Pay for Supervisor RN roles with this employer has been estimated around $72,000–$84,000 a year in Knoxville listings; Murfreesboro figures are worth confirming when you apply. Listed benefits include State of Tennessee health, dental, and vision, FSA/DCA, generous PTO and holidays, a fully employer-paid TCRS pension that vests at five years, 401k/457 options, free daily lunches, shift and weekend differentials, and an EAP. The mission on paper is straightforward: help veterans regain as much independence as they can, with 24-hour clinical oversight and activity programs. You should also know the hard recent fact: a December 2025 comptroller audit described management, financial, and quality-of-care problems system-wide, and reported the Murfreesboro home falling from a 4-star rating in 2022 to 1-star by January 2025 with immediate-jeopardy citations. That is part of the setting you would be walking into.
Optimal quality of care for veterans through rehab toward maximum independent functioning, 24-hour clinical oversight, and socialization and activity programs.

The good
- Monday–Friday evening supervisor schedule (3pm–11pm) rather than a rotating weekend base pattern
- State of TN health, dental, and vision plus FSA/DCA
- TCRS pension fully employer-paid with five-year vest, plus 401k/457
- Shift and weekend differentials and free daily lunches
- Clear mission caring for veterans, spouses, and Gold Star parents in LTC/rehab
- No Tennessee state income tax and local cost of living a bit below the national average
The hard parts
- Murfreesboro facility quality rating fell from 4-star (2022) to 1-star by January 2025 with immediate-jeopardy citations per state audit coverage
- System-wide audit findings on management, finances, and quality of care; operating losses and no state general-fund support
- Published RN pay figures are estimated ranges from Knoxville postings, not a confirmed Murfreesboro offer
- Glassdoor sits around 3.6/5 with only 37 ratings, so the sample is thin and mixed
“I came for the sign-on bonus. I stayed because on my hardest night, my whole team stayed with me.”
