Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing

Students will apply for admission. If the student has a 3.0 cumulative GPA from Emory College or Oxford College at the time of application, they will be admitted automatically into the School of Nursing starting their junior year.

Due to the nature of the nursing curriculum, students are not able to participate in traditional study abroad opportunities during their junior or senior year. We offer a variety of domestic and international immersion trips through our Lillian Carter Center for Global Health and Social Responsibility that all nursing students can apply to participate in. Programs range from seven-day trips to two-week experiences.

The School of Nursing has more than 500 clinical partners to meet the needs of our students. Students will be placed in group clinical experiences in hospitals and community settings during their first three semesters. Students will complete a precepted clinical experience in a hospital and outpatient setting during their fourth semester. Most clinical experiences will take place within a 75-mile radius of Emory. Students must arrange their own transportation to their clinical placement.

Our BSN graduates typically have multiple job offers before graduation and report 100 percent employment within three to six months of graduation (for those who are not going immediately into graduate school).

We offer a free NLCEX preparatory course immediately after graduation to offer our students an extra review before taking the exam. Our BSN graduates from December 2022 through August 2023 reported a 95 percent first-time pass rate on the NCLEX.
