A RESOLUTION

Recognizing March 11, 2026, as Nurses Day at the state capitol; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, over 170,000 registered nurses in Georgia comprise the state's largest healthcare profession and are vital to the medical well-being of our citizens; and

WHEREAS, professional nursing has proven to be an indispensable component for safe, high-quality care of hospitalized patients; and

WHEREAS, professional nurses are also vital to outpatient care of patients, and the renewed emphasis on access to primary and preventative care in recent years will require better utilization of our state's registered nursing resources; and

WHEREAS, the aging of the American population, continued reduction of healthcare options in rural settings, and growth of home healthcare services have led to a greater than ever demand for registered nursing services, and more qualified registered nurses will be needed in the future to meet the increasingly complex needs of healthcare consumers in Georgia; and

WHEREAS, the Georgia Nurses Association supports and advocates the many ways in which registered nurses of all levels of education and training strive to provide safe and high-quality patient care, and map out ways to improve our healthcare system.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE that the members of this body recognize March 11, 2026, as Nurses Day at the state capitol and commend the men and women of our nursing workforce for their strength, leadership, and courage and their willingness to find meaning in something greater than themselves. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Senate is authorized and directed to make appropriate copies of this resolution available for distribution to the public and the press.
