Georgia nursing board and license resources
Official links for nurses licensed in Georgia, whether you're facing a complaint, on probation, or just renewing.
Good to know: Georgia doesn't currently have an established alternative-to-discipline program for nurses. The Board has an Alternative to Discipline Committee, so check its site for updates. The Board's substance use resources page (https://sos.ga.gov/page/nursing-resources-substance-abuse) has the self-report packet and approved aftercare provider list. The Board of Pharmacy is a separate agency from the Nursing Board.
