The nursing programs in Georgia have been impacted by the nursing shortage affecting the country. The state of Georgia has made many moves to close the gap on the nursing shortage in Georgia and it is working. However, Georgia nursing schools are still turning away thousands of qualified applicants each year due to shortage of nursing school faculty. By turning away qualified nursing school candidates the Georgia nursing schools are creating wait lists for their nursing programs and thus, adding to the nursing shortage in Georgia.
