Nurse Navigator Jobs in Georgia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a nurse navigator in Georgia?
You become a nurse navigator in Georgia by first holding an active registered nurse license through the Georgia Board of Nursing, which requires passing the NCLEX-RN exam and meeting the board's education requirements. Most Georgia employers expect a BSN at minimum, with a master's degree preferred for senior roles. Pursuing a navigation-specific credential such as the Oncology Nurse Navigator Certified Generalist (ONN-CG) through the Academy of Oncology Nurse and Patient Navigators strengthens your candidacy considerably.
How much do nurse navigators make in Georgia?
Nurse navigators in Georgia earn a median of about $93,550 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $68,920 for the lowest 10% to over $128,640 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire nurse navigators in Georgia?
Employers hiring nurse navigators in Georgia right now include Wellstar Health System, PruittHealth, and SGMC Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Georgia's largest integrated health systems, academic medical centers, and cancer care networks are among the most consistent sources of nurse navigator openings across the state.
Which Georgia cities have the most nurse navigator jobs?
Augusta, Marietta, and Macon lead Georgia for nurse navigator openings. Atlanta dominates because of the density of major health systems and academic medical centers headquartered there, while Augusta's activity is driven heavily by Augusta University Health and its affiliated cancer and specialty programs, and Savannah's market reflects the growing regional presence of St. Joseph's/Candler and Memorial Health.
Are there remote nurse navigator jobs in Georgia?
Yes, but they're rare. About 0% of nurse navigator openings tied to Georgia are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting the hands-on, relationship-based nature of most navigation work. The portions of the role most likely to be performed remotely are telephonic follow-up, care plan documentation, and insurance authorization coordination rather than direct patient-facing navigation.
How can I get hired as a nurse navigator in Georgia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is transitioning from a clinical nursing role in oncology, case management, or care coordination, which Georgia's large systems actively recruit from internally. Emory Healthcare and Piedmont Healthcare both run nurse residency and transition-to-practice programs that expose new graduates to care coordination workflows. Pursuing the ONN-CG credential or completing a patient navigation certificate while working as a bedside RN in a relevant unit signals readiness, and roles titled care coordinator or discharge planning nurse are common lateral moves that lead directly into navigator positions.
Where can I find and apply to nurse navigator jobs in Georgia?
You can find and apply to nurse navigator jobs in Georgia on Migrate Mate, which lists current Georgia openings from employers actively hiring. Find a role that fits and apply directly through the listing.
