I don't know about that program but I will say Emory is well respected all over the United States. It is a very highly ranked nursing school. I can't remember what number but it is in the top 10 nationwide. GL!

I went to Emory for my masters in public health and my fiancee got his PA degree there. Both of us loved it. It is very expensive but you get what you pay for. I took a few classes in the nursing school there and was very pleased. I would also consider GA state, I am getting my BSN there(as a second degree student) in 16 months. It is a very competitive program and well regarded. I am not sure what type of MSN you are pursuing but I would look there as well. It is downtown but there are trains from most suburbs that go straight into GA state.

With regards to Emory, it is a very safe area but not as inexpensive as other suburbs. The salaries at Emory are very competitive, the other hospitals you may want to look at depending on your specialty are St. Joseph's, Northside, CHOA, Piedmont. I would assume most of them reimburse for MSN. What specialty are you pursuing?

There are 2 primary Emory hospitals in Atlanta, Emory University Hospital and Emory Midtown (formerly Crawford Long). Both are very difficult to get into as a new grad.

This past Spring, when I graduated, Emory did not post ANY new grad positions. They did all of their hiring internally from those new grads who were scholarship recipients, Emory students, or techs (employees) of Emory prior to graduation.

Good luck with getting on there. I don't know the status of the new grad hiring at this time (December grads), but check their website: www.emoryhealthcare.org.

Best wishes to you!!
