More about Vascular Institute of Chattanooga
The RN work is concrete and varied: keeping clinic flow moving, booking OBL and hospital cases, reviewing ultrasounds, making post-op calls, and covering phone triage, with stress tests, labs, CTs, and follow-ups in the mix. Charting runs through Medstream. Pay in public clinic RN postings has landed roughly in the $37–$42 hourly range, with phone triage a bit lower. Review aggregates mention flexibility and a chance to learn, and fair pay shows up as a like. The same small review set is middling overall—about 3.5 across four reviews—and one clinical assistant described hostile leadership and little real training on the job. Chattanooga sits below the national cost of living, Tennessee has no state income tax, and the city is an easy base if you want foothills access without a huge metro price tag. Orientation support is not clearly spelled out in what is available, so it is worth asking how the first weeks actually work before you commit.
