Rachel A.

Pre-licensure Ambassadors at Emory University School of Nursing

Class of 2025

Hometown: Nyack, NY

Major: Nursing


I chose Emory because...

Due to its highly ranked nursing program, clinical placements, research opportunities, and the strong support system. When I first went on a tour here, I just knew that I wanted to be here in this positive environment.

My favorite thing to do in Atlanta is...

Finding new things to do! I love exploring the city, whether that be trying new places to eat, cute cafes to get my work done, thrifting stores, or just simply walking around town! I'm new to Atlanta so trying to find all the best spots. Always let me know if you recommend anything, I'm down for a fun time!

Before nursing school, I was...

Completing my nursing prerequisites from Pace University in New York. I transferred to Emory this fall.

What has been the highlight of nursing school so far?

Clinicals! I love going to the hospital weekly and getting to know different patients and just have full exposure to the real responsibilities of an RN nurse. It's been so fun and interesting to learn about certain disorders/diseases and take the proper actions; the hands-on approach allows me to learn so much. I love my clinical instructor and group as well

I'm passionate about...

Music Talking with friends Travel Running Food!
