APRN students require specialized clinical placements to gain clinical skills as a nurse practitioner or midwife. Securing placements is a collaborative effort between students, faculty, and our clinical affairs team. The clinical affairs team partners with faculty to coordinate rotations for local advanced practice nursing students during their program. Students are expected to have schedule and travel flexibility for clinical placements, up to 150 miles from the School of Nursing. If any clinical site is arranged by the specialty director and placement office but is declined by the student, this will result in an interruption of the plan of study and the placement office and specialty director will not seek a substitute rotation for the semester. Students who have declined their clinical placement will need to request a leave of absence until the following semester.
Effective June 1, 2022
We are excited that the MSN and DNP programs have transitioned to online courses with on campus intensives. If you’ve decided to complete your clinical rotations 150 miles from Emory University and/or out of the state of Georgia, please see our Post-Licensure Online Resource Portal to help you with the placement process.

Please note: APRN students outside the state of Georgia are required to maintain an unencumbered RN license in the state where the clinical placement will occur. Some students may be required to secure multiple state licenses at their own expense.
Given the large number of health profession students in the Atlanta Metro Region and the competition for sites, agencies and providers have asked that all local student placements be coordinated by a school representative. Students should not reach out to local Georgia sites to arrange their own placements. If students identify a possible local placement, they should contact their Placement Coordinator and they will work with the site to see if placement is possible. Students must arrange their own transportation to their clinical placement.
Please note: due to Board of Nursing regulations, clinical placements may not be accommodated in all areas of the country. Clinical placements cannot be completed in New York, Tennessee or Oregon. State Board of Nursing approval is needed for the following states:
New Hampshire, Delaware, Washington DC, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, North Dakota, Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, California, and Washington.
