RETAIN:
RN Reentry Program
As a response to addressing the nursing shortage, the RN Reentry program was developed to assist nurses who are presently ineligible for reinstatement of their license because their license has lapsed, inactive, or nurses coming to Georgia through endorsement. The objective is to establish a pathway to licensure, enabling these nurses to return to the healthcare workforce.
The RN Reentry program has been approved by the Georgia Board of Nursing to provide the individualized combination of 40 hours of study relevant to nursing and 160 hours of supervised nursing practice required by the Board for reinstatement of licensure as a registered professional nurse.
Eligibility Criteria for Registered Nurses
-
A registered nurse with an active Georgia nursing license who has not practiced for several years and wishes to refresh their knowledge and skills in order to re-enter the nursing profession.
-
A registered nurse seeking to reinstate their Georgia nursing license by completing a Board-approved reentry or refresher program.
-
A registered nurse holding an active nursing license in another state/country who desires to obtain a Georgia nursing license through endorsement.
