This resolution recognizes February 19, 2025, as Nurses Day at the state capitol, highlighting the critical importance of nurses in Georgia's healthcare system. The resolution acknowledges that Georgia has over 170,000 registered nurses who are essential to medical well-being, providing safe and high-quality care in both hospital and outpatient settings. It emphasizes the growing demand for nursing professionals due to an aging population, reduced healthcare options in rural areas, and increased home health care services. The Georgia Nurses Association is noted for supporting and advocating for nurses across different education and training levels. The resolution commends nurses for their strength, leadership, and courage, and directs the House of Representatives Clerk to distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press, thereby formally recognizing the vital contributions of nurses to the state's healthcare system.
