Dietitian Career Context

Of the 50 active Clinical Nutrition listings this role was benchmarked against, 20% are remote, 26% have no call, 80% require no weekends.

In Tennessee, the Clinical Nutrition weighted monthly median benchmark on WeekdayDoc is ~$68k (56 salary observations; 171 listings), vs ~$78k nationally (2,448 salary observations; 8,357 listings). Monthly aggregates cover 2026-01-01 through 2026-10-01; these are not the modal's selected comparable-job medians.

The cost-of-living index for Tennessee is 91.9 (US average = 100; BEA Regional Price Parities (2024)), so the posted ~$72k midpoint carries the purchasing power of roughly $78k in an average-cost state. 58.6% of Tennessee clinicians report burnout symptoms in WeekdayDoc's Burnout Index (2026-01 data).

Location & Logistics

Tennessee has no state income tax, which can significantly increase take-home pay compared to high-tax states. At the posted ~$72k midpoint, that is roughly $3k–$5k a year versus a typical 4–7% state rate.
