Working as a nurse in Marietta
Marietta sits at the centre of Cobb County, north-west of Atlanta, with a dense network of skilled nursing, rehabilitation and senior-living communities. Per diem work here is largely long-term care, and the county’s size means several facilities usually sit within a short drive of each other.
Providers working Marietta commonly cover Kennesaw, Smyrna, Austell and Powder Springs in the same week, which makes a full schedule straightforward without a long commute.
Georgia is a Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) state. A qualifying multistate RN or LPN licence from another compact state lets you practise here without applying for a separate Georgia licence. CNAs must meet Georgia certification requirements — the compact does not cover nurse aides.
With Switch you browse available shifts, choose when you work, see the rate before you claim, and get paid the same day.
About Marietta
Cobb County is one of Georgia’s largest by population and carries a substantial older-adult community, which keeps long-term care staffing needs consistent week to week. Marietta is treated as its own market rather than folded into Atlanta — the commute and the facility mix are genuinely different.
Nursing pay in Marietta, Georgia
LPNs working per diem across Georgia are paid $32–$36/hr, and CNAs $21–$24 (Switch — contracted and paid shift rates, last 12 months).
These are the rates Switch is posting for shifts in this market. They are set from local healthcare wage data rather than from completed Switch shifts, because this is a market we are opening — once shifts have been worked here these become the rates actually paid. Rates vary by facility and shift — you’ll see the exact rate on every shift before you claim it. As a 1099 provider you cover self-employment tax and benefits.
What nurses actually earn in Marietta, Georgia
Switch rates are what providers were actually paid on completed shifts over the past year — not a starting rate. Shown against local wages for employed staff nurses.
| Role | Switch (1099 per diem) | Local staff wages (W-2) |
|---|---|---|
| CNA | $21–$24/hr top shifts to $28 | $18–$21/hr |
| LPN | $32–$36/hr top shifts to $42 | $28–$35/hr |
Switch figures are the middle 50% of hourly rates actually paid on completed shifts in the last 12 months, including weekend and holiday premiums; “top shifts” is the 95th percentile. Local staff wages are employed (W-2) hourly ranges from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 2025. As a 1099 provider you cover self-employment tax and benefits, so the two figures are not directly equivalent.
