Working as a nurse in Georgia
Georgia’s healthcare system is anchored by metro Atlanta — one of the largest and fastest-growing healthcare hubs in the Southeast — and extends across the state, creating steady demand for nurses and CNAs who want flexible, per diem work. From acute care hospitals to skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and senior living facilities, Georgia offers a broad mix of settings for RNs, LPNs, and CNAs.
Major systems like Emory Healthcare, Piedmont Healthcare, Wellstar Health System, Northside Hospital, and Grady Health System care for patients across the region, while a growing network of post-acute and senior-care facilities keeps per diem demand steady.
Georgia is a Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) state. If you hold a qualifying multistate RN or LPN license from another compact state, you can practice in Georgia without applying for a separate Georgia license. CNAs must meet Georgia certification requirements.
