About the GNA-PAP
The Georgia Nurses Association Peer Assistance Program (GNA-PAP), previously named the Georgia Nurses Association Nurse Advocate Program, is a collaborative effort with the Georgia Board of Nursing (the Board) and GNA. Established in 1981, the program is staffed with volunteer nurses who are committed to support other nurses living with the disease of substance use disorder. Georgia was the first state in the nation to acknowledge the need to treat, to support and to retain nurses with substance abuse disorder as members of the nursing profession.
