Nursing Jobs in Georgia: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a nursing in Georgia?

To work as a registered nurse in Georgia, you must complete an accredited associate or bachelor of science in nursing program, pass the NCLEX-RN exam, and obtain licensure through the Georgia Board of Nursing. Georgia participates in the Nurse Licensure Compact, so nurses already holding a compact license from another state may practice without applying for a separate Georgia license, provided Georgia is not their primary state of residence.

How much do nursings make in Georgia?

Nursings in Georgia earn a median of about $37,680 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $30,300 for the lowest 10% to over $47,310 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire nursings in Georgia?

Companies currently hiring nursings in Georgia include PruittHealth, CHSGa, and Empire Care Centers, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Georgia's large integrated health systems, particularly those anchored in the Atlanta metro and Augusta medical corridor, represent the most consistent sources of full-time and per-diem nursing openings across the state.

Which Georgia cities have the most nursing jobs?

The cities with the most nursing openings in Georgia are Atlanta, Macon, and Columbus. Atlanta dominates due to the concentration of major academic medical centers and health systems there, while Augusta's openings are driven by its established medical district anchored by large hospital and university health employers, and Savannah draws demand from regional hospital systems serving the coastal corridor.

Are there remote nursing jobs in Georgia?

Yes, but they're rare. About 2% of nursing openings tied to Georgia are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the fundamentally hands-on nature of most clinical roles. The nursing positions most likely to offer remote work are in utilization review, case management, telehealth triage, and insurance prior-authorization roles that do not require direct bedside care.

How can I get hired as a nursing in Georgia with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying directly to new-graduate residency programs, which Emory Healthcare, Wellstar Health System, and WellStar MCGHealth run on recurring cycles for candidates without post-graduation experience. Medical-surgical and long-term care units typically have the lowest experience barriers and serve as a common stepping stone. Holding an active Georgia Board of Nursing license and a current BLS certification before applying puts candidates ahead of those still pending credentials.

Where can I find and apply to nursing jobs in Georgia?

You can find and apply to nursing jobs in Georgia on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers hiring across the state. Search the listings to find roles that match your specialty, experience level, and preferred location, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
