I also took a deeper dive into what the educational curriculum would consist of compared to other health professions programs, and I really enjoyed how mine would be hands-on from day one. I learned more about nursing through internet research, to be completely frank. I also wanted to get a broader overview of health conditions and health promotion for all ages before further specializing (I plan to get a post-master’s certification in psychiatric mental health down the line). I chose the Family Nurse Practitioner specialty because I wasn’t entirely sure which population I wanted to work with- aside from psychiatric mental health, the family specialty is the only other practice whose providers work with individuals across the entire lifespan. Is there a specialization and/or specific population you are interested in? Why? How did you get into it and/or learn more about it? I think Emory’s connection to a huge network of hospitals and providers in the greater Atlanta area and beyond is pretty unique, and it certainly doesn’t hurt that they have guaranteed clinical placements for every rotation (for both RN and NP portions! This isn’t super common for many nursing schools out there because of the current national shortage on preceptors for clinical sites). I chose to apply to Emory primarily because their nursing program has a strong pass rate on certification exams, their clinical rotations serve urban and rural areas, and I would be saving time in a joint program without sacrificing the quality of my education. The Master of Nursing Degree allows me to take the NCLEX and become a certified registered nurse, while the Master of Science in Nursing allows me to take the boards to become a certified Family Nurse Practitioner. I’m in an accelerated MN+MSN program with a Family Nurse Practitioner specialty. I’m currently a second semester student at Emory University’s School of Nursing.
