Georgia faces a significant shortage of nurses, with a deficit expected in the coming years. This shortage is a major concern for the state. To address this issue, an agreement has been made between Brenau University and the Technical College System of Georgia.

The goal of this agreement is to make it easier for nursing students to further their education, and it is part of a larger effort to increase the number of nurses in the state, although details of the plan are not fully outlined here and can be found through other sources.
