Georgia is suffering from a shortage of nurses. By the year 2030 Georgia is projected to have the sixth worse nursing shortage in the country.  The shortfall will be over 50,000 individuals below the needed number of nurses to provide patient care. It is expected that there will be a 36% growth over the next ten years in available positions for allied health professionals.
