Financial Aid Counseling

The School of Nursing recognizes the financial investment of an Emory nursing education. To help students make an Emory nursing education affordable, the school offers personalized financial aid counseling and personal finance workshops throughout the year.

NCLEX Preparation

The NCLEX-RN (National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses) is a standardized examination designed to test knowledge, skills, and abilities deemed essential for entry level nursing practice. Graduates of the BSN, ABSN, and ABSN+MSN program options must take this exam in order to practice as a registered nurse. The NCLEX-RN exam is administered by state boards of nursing, as well as boards in the District of Columbia, and five US territories: American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. The School of Nursing has created a NCLEX preparation site specifically for Emory nursing students.

Please view the website for specific instructions about preparing for the exam.
