March 8, 2021- The Georgia Nursing Hall of Fame™ recognizes exemplary nurses who have become legends for their dedication to nursing in the state of Georgia.

“As GNF President, I am so happy to see the Georgia Nursing Hall of Fame™ come to fruition,” stated Georgia Nurses Foundation President Wanda Jones, BSN, RN, MSN, FNP-BC. “We have been planning this program for over two years to honor and showcase the many nursing legends in Georgia. Due to the pandemic, we decided not to hold this event in 2020. We are so looking forward to our inaugural event in October 2021.”
