Advisory for Nurse Practitioners Building Their Own Practice.
Guidance on the regulatory, legal, and operational questions of starting and running an NP-owned practice in Tennessee, from someone who is both a nurse practitioner and an attorney.
The problem
NP practice ownership raises questions few advisors can answer from both sides.
- You want to open your own practice but are unsure what Tennessee requirements apply to your role and services.
- You need a collaborative practice arrangement and want to understand the obligations on both sides.
- You are choosing a business structure and are unsure how professional licensure affects it.
- Credentialing, policies, and documentation all need to be in place before the first patient.

The approach
A Nurse Practitioner and an Attorney in the Same Conversation.
Joshua Faucett is a board-certified family nurse practitioner and a Tennessee attorney. That combination means your questions about practice ownership are understood clinically, legally, and operationally.
Every NP practice is different. Requirements depend on your license and certification, specialty, services, setting, payers, and current law. Bear Track Health does not assume that any particular practice model is permitted; each situation is assessed individually.
