What has been the highlight of nursing school so far?

The professors and instructors have been amazing, and they will go above in beyond in meeting your learning needs as well as getting to know you on an individual level.

Before nursing school, I was...

working as a Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) at family practice, PRN at an urgent care practice, and helping administer COVID-19 vaccinations with my County's Board of Health!

My favorite thing to do in Atlanta is...

Trivia night with friends! There are several other awesome things, including (but not limited to) catching a sports event, visiting Midtown, checking out the Beltline, the Coca-Cola Factory, seeing the MLK National Historic Park, and so much more!

I chose Emory because...

Emory offers an unparalleled opportunity and educational experience. I take pride in telling everyone that the School of Nursing is ranked in the top 10 for nearly all of its programs and that it is directly next to the CDC! Some other highlights include the world-class faculty, research opportunities, global health immersion trips, and partnerships with many of Atlanta has premiere health care institutions. The list goes on and on!
