Nurse Licensing in Georgia is a relatively new process aimed at regulating and standardizing nursing practice. Recent changes require nurses to pass a registration exam and register in the professional registry. This is a significant step to increase the prestige and responsibility of the nursing profession. The service applies to both practicing nurses wishing to legalize their status and college graduates. Licensing is essential for employment in a clinic and career advancement. Additionally, there are specialized nursing fields (e.g., surgical nurse, anesthetist) requiring additional qualifications.
Specialists on Legal.ge offer consulting services on nurse registration and licensing issues:
- Registration Exam Support: Information on exam procedures, deadlines, and required documentation.
- Diploma Validation: Confirming the authenticity and recognizing diplomas from medical colleges or schools.
- Foreign Nurse Registration: Recognizing nursing education obtained abroad and obtaining the right to work in Georgia.
- Continuing Education: Information on accredited training necessary to maintain registration.
- Labor Rights: Legal audit of nurse employment contracts and protection of rights with employers.
In practice, many nurses work "unofficially" or with old certificates, posing risks for both them and the clinic. The state is tightening control, and employing an unregistered nurse leads to fines. The issue of foreign nurses wishing to work in Georgia but facing language and bureaucratic barriers is also relevant. A lawyer helps them overcome these obstacles.
In Georgia, nursing is regulated by the Law "On Medical Practice" and Ministry of Health orders on nurse certification. The process is overseen by the Medical Regulation Agency.
