Grants to boost number of Georgia nurses

Sixteen of Georgia’s public universities will receive a total of $3 million in grants to produce more nursing graduates. The Board of Regents for the University System of Georgia hopes its Nursing Education Initiative will remedy the state’s shortage of registered nurses. The funding will be used to expand education programs and boost nursing faculty salaries around the state. Dr. Daniel Rahn is President of the Medical College of Georgia and a University System senior vice chancellor. He said the initiative is intended to increase by 50% the number of new registered nursing grads by 2010.
