BSN, MN, and MN Pathway at Emory University School of Nursing
Class of 2026
Hometown: Woodstock, GA
Major: Nursing
Concentration: BSN
My favorite thing to do in Atlanta is ride electric scooters from Piedmont Park to the Krog Street Tunnel and grab an ice cream cone from Ben & Jerry’s in Inman Park.
Before nursing school, I was pre-med here at Emory University. But the flexibility of the nursing profession and the chance for more direct patient interaction inspired me to pursue my BSN—especially at Emory, the #1 BSN program in the nation.
I chose Emory because it’s in an amazing location full of culture and great food, and it’s not too far from my hometown. Emory is also the hub of medicine and research here in Atlanta, making it the perfect place to pursue nursing.
The highlight of nursing school so far has been becoming a part of VANAP. It’s given me the opportunity to work closely with Atlanta veterans and has opened the door to so many experiences—like the HPSP scholarship and an externship through VA-STEP.
