How do you become a rn staff nurse in Georgia?

You become an rn staff nurse in Georgia by earning an associate or bachelor's degree in nursing, passing the NCLEX-RN exam, and obtaining an active registered nurse license through the Georgia Board of Nursing. Applications are submitted through the Board's licensing portal, and Georgia also participates in the Nurse Licensure Compact, meaning a multistate license from a compact state may be recognized. Most Georgia hospitals then hire directly from new-graduate candidate pools tied to their affiliated nursing schools.
