Hello, I am a travel nurse and worked in Georgia for part of the year in 2018. I rented an apartment while I was there, but maintained my permanent residence in Florida. Do I file Georgia state taxes as a non-resident?

Yes.  Since Georgia is not your permanent residence, your income in Georgia is taxed as a nonresident.  Georgia taxes you only on the income you earned in Georgia, and not on all of your income.
