As an NP in Georgia, I have a physician collaborator for my business, can a RN work under me without the approval of the collaborator?

Yes, having an office staff had nothing to do with the collaborator. The collaborator is there only for your medical decision making, not your business decisions. Business decisions include whom to employ, etc. Do yourself a favor and consult a nurse attorney to ensure all aspects of your NP business conform with Georgia law. You unfortunately don't work in an autonomous practice state, so the investment is worth the money to spare misery later. Check out TAANA to find a nurse attorney.
