   dmrnurse replied to gahnosah's topic in Georgia

   I am currently a senior in the Emory SON, and I too would disagree with mt33133, or I least I would like to add my personal experience to what mt33133 posted. The Emory SON is focused on evidence-based practice rather than research for the sake of re...

9. Is anyone out there a Emory nursing student?

   dmrnurse replied to choanurse's topic in General Students

   That's very true. I applied to both GA State and Emory last year. The nursing programs are so competitive with the excess of applicants for a limited number of spots that there are really no guarantees. So it is very sound advice to apply to multi...

    I was going to wait a few more weeks (until after orientation) to purchase an NCLEX book to see if the school recommends any particular book. I will be 42 when I graduate. My original goal was to be a nurse by 40 but I got a little later start than ...
