I got 100% maths. You got to know the metric conversions, from miles to kms, from inches to meters, from kgs to lbs vv. Some basic algebra like looking for x from a simple equation, converting from a number like 50 for example to Roman numerals and so on. Try youtube, it is helful, too.

Congratulations to you, Kitkat. Would you mind if I ask how much is your gpa? I am so nervous with my application because I still do not finish my essay. Could you give me some suggestions, I will appreciate a lot?

As far as the essay goes, just be real. Write from your heart and why YOU want to be a nurse, not what you think they want to hear. Once you start and get a good, solid intro, it will all come together!

Thanks, I got some ideas now. I think about the essay all day long. Anyone has something to share?

Hey All!

It's been so beneficial to read everyone's questions and answers regarding Emory's nursing program.

I am someone who is still in the "thick" of transitioning from teaching to nursing.

I stopped teaching in '09 took many of the prerequisites between 2009-2010 and am currently

researching state schools in Florida and out-of-state schools like Emory, Vanderbilt, UVermont, etc. with the specific programs of Graduate-entry masters programs. So far, I really like Emory, Vanderbilt, U Vermont (they have an accelerated DNP program, Go figure!), Case Western, Columbia, U F (alma mater), UNF, Duke, UNC-Chapel Hill, U Chicago-Ill, and MGH.

After perusing Emory's website and their school's values, I absolutely love their focus on inculcating social responsibility in their students....makes it an attractive school to me besides the clinical strength of the school.

Enough about me. I just wanted to say I really appreciate those who are current students really addressing the questions about what its like at Emory. Really paints a picture to us as readers.

I will be applying forl 2013. At the moment, my focus is on finishing their Chemistry prereqs and saving up as much money as I can.

I have a FT job as a Admin Assistant for a healthcare company that employs physicians, PAs, and Nurse practitioners for emergency rooms all across the US. It's an awesome company and I work in the executive department under the President and CMO. Please if you have a desire to become an Emergency Room NP or know someone that does, then check out this company they really strive for you to be a leader in your field and they pay you well over the average nurse practitioner. Also, let me know and I can give a contact with one of our recruiters.

Last thing,

here are some of my questions for those who have been accepted recently and/or current Emory nursing students:

1. What were your academic stats: GPA (cum), GPA (prereq), TEAS/GRE, previous health experience, essay contents, etc.

2. Give me your reason for choosing Emory?

3. What other schools did you apply to?

4. What was your finiancial package from Emory?

5. How much of your personal savings are going into your Emory education?

Thanks for reading this and even more thanks for replying!

Hello everyone,

I have a question for our seniors at EMORY nursing program. What kind of dress code are we going to have? Is there any particular color or we can wear any color of nursing outfit?

I am still waiting for financial package.

Thanks,

Jaimini

y is my application decision online still saying decision is unavailable?

dkyerema · Mar 2, 2012

@Jai5143The dress code for lectures are pretty much anything that you feel wearing. They are not strict about dress code for lectures but for lab, you either wear a business casual(no jeans) with a lab coat or any nursing scrub but for clinicals, it's strictly a blue navy nursing scrub which can be purchase at any uniform advantage storesHope this helps.

Does anyone know what happens after you are put on the wait list and what are the chances of being offered a spot?

crjohnson10210 · Mar 16, 2012

Does anyone know when the change from the masters requirement to the doctorate requirement for NP is going to take effect? I keep seeing 2015, but I've heard this is the last year for you to be able to be a NP with just a masters. Thanks!
