Working as a nurse in Myrtle Beach
Myrtle Beach anchors healthcare for the Grand Strand, where a fast-growing year-round population and one of the country’s largest retiree communities keep demand for nurses and CNAs consistently strong. From acute care hospitals to skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and senior-living communities across Conway, North Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach, and Murrells Inlet, the area offers a broad mix of settings for RNs, LPNs, and CNAs.
Grand Strand Health, Tidelands Health, and Conway Medical Center anchor acute care along the coast, while an unusually dense network of senior living, memory care, and skilled nursing communities keeps per diem opportunities available throughout the week.
South Carolina 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 South Carolina without applying for a separate South Carolina license. CNAs must meet South Carolina certification requirements.
With Switch, you browse available shifts, choose when you work, and get paid quickly — giving you more control over your schedule and your income.
About Myrtle Beach
Famous for 60 miles of coastline and millions of annual visitors, the Grand Strand is also one of the fastest-growing retirement destinations in the country — which translates into steady senior-care and acute demand. For nurses and CNAs, that makes Myrtle Beach a dependable market for flexible per diem work.
Nursing pay in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
RNs working per diem across South Carolina are paid $40–$40/hr, LPNs $36–$36, and CNAs $20–$20 (Switch — rates paid on completed shifts, last 12 months).
Figures are the middle 50% of hourly rates actually paid to providers on completed Switch shifts over the last 12 months, including weekend and holiday premiums, measured across South Carolina where a role has too little local shift history to report on its own. 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 Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
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 | $20/hr top shifts to $25 | $16–$18/hr |
| LPN | $36/hr top shifts to $45 | $26–$30/hr |
| RN | $40/hr top shifts to $40.48 | $37–$46/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.
