Office of Nursing has collaborated with the DHR Office of Human Resource Management and Development (OHRMD) in the development of the Mentoring Program for Public Health Nurses as a key component of the recruitment and retention plan for public health nurses (PHNs). It is hoped that mentoring may provide one means by which the current crisis in recruiting and retaining public health nurses may be addressed, thereby ensuring a competent and professional nursing workforce for the citizens of Georgia.
- Georgia Public Health Nursing Practice and Education Workgroup Tool Kit
- This tool kit was developed by the Georgia Public Health Nursing Practice and
Education Workgroup (GaPEW) to facilitate the development of local and/or
regional workgroups in order to accomplish three goals: 1) to enhance the
preparation of public health nurses, 2) to strengthen the practice of public
health nursing in Georgia and 3) to address both practice and academic issues
unique to public health and the profession of nursing. The tool kit contains
information about the benefits of participating, the history of the GaPEW and
the fundamentals of managing and sustaining a local workgroup.

- History of Public Health Nursing in Georgia 1898-2002
- Georgia public health nursing has a strong legacy of responding to the health
needs of communities by providing clinical services to individuals and
families, participating in community-based initiatives and making a
difference in the health of populations. To recognize the first
one-hundred years of service and to focus on the work of public
health nurses as major partners for health, the Georgia Department of Public Health
Office of Nursing
convened a committee that developed this rich history. This document
represents the first published history of Georgia public health nursing.
It is a tribute to the public health nurses in Georgia who have
pioneered, engineered and forged the way for the rest of us. We owe them
a huge debt for building the public’s trust and providing a guide for
our current and future practice. This document offers wisdom about
the past and inspiration for public health in the 21st century.
