One sign of the severity of Georgia’s nurse shortage can be seen in the bonuses offered to experienced RNs to join a hospital workforce.
Some health systems in the state are paying bonuses of more than $10,000 to attract nurses. And Piedmont Healthcare, which is rapidly becoming Georgia’s biggest health system, said it has offered bonuses of up to $30,000, a figure that has startled local health industry officials.

ALBANY, Ga. (WALB) - Fighting food insecurity is a top priority for one Southwest Georgia gardener. Heâs doing so with community gardens and workshops on how to keep them alive.
Flint River Freshâs Fredando Jackson said there are about 20 community gardens in the area. He said heâs seen with his own eyes how those gardens help fight food insecurity.
âI have what I call regular grocery shoppers. Like individuals that show up like every week to see what we have into the gardenâs space, they sit down and have conversations with me about like kale recipes,â explained Jackson.
