CRNA jobs and hiring in South Carolina
South Carolina OEWS data put the statewide median above the national CRNA median, with Myrtle Beach, northwestern nonmetro areas, and the Charlotte border metro among the higher published medians. Charleston and Greenville sit closer to midrange in this release. OEWS figures are survey wages, not advertised packages.
Hospital systems along the coast and in the Upstate often post W-2 roles. Confirm call, 1099 vs W-2, and care-team language on the posting before comparing it to the state calculator.
- Ask whether an advertised package is base-only, call-heavy, or 1099 before comparing it to OEWS percentiles.
- Confirm privileges, supervision or care-team model, and malpractice terms with the employer; those are offer-specific.
