The United Advanced Practice Registered Nurses of Georgia

Hello everyone,

I have just reviewed clarification of what SB 314 is about. This proposed bill was initiated by the GA BON to strengthen APRN licensure language to be consistent with the Nurse Compact Agreement. The Compact, allowing nurses to practice under one license in multiple states, requires APRNs to have a unique nursing license. GA currently "authorizes" NP practice.

Please see the attachment. 

 

Thank you in advance
