  While the role of an APRN has continued to grow nationally, Georgia's laws for practicing APRNs remains one of the most restrictive in the US. Some feel as though Georgia's laws regarding APRN practice is outdated as they are not consistent with the national trends of physician shortages and a higher demand of healthcare for the growing population. Georgia Watch, an organization that advocates for it's citizens education and quality of life, has encouraged policymakers to consider granting APRNs full authority to practice independently and allow patients to choose their own provider. Today, APRNs can be found in nearly all of Georgia's healthcare settings, deeming them significant members of healthcare practice and disease management.
