The Byrdine F. Lewis School of Nursing and Nursing Students at Georgia State (NSGS) hosted the Georgia Nurses Association (GNA) Legislative Day 2008 on Thursday, January 31.  Over 350 nursing students and faculty from all over Georgia met at the Georgia State University Student Center prior to visiting the state capitol in order to familiarize legislators and in turn the public with the GNA legislative platform.   Several issues that have a direct impact on nursing education were highlighted, including faculty shortage, salaries as well as continuing issues related to prescriptive authority for advance practice nurses.
