Continuing Education
Emory School of Nursing's continuing education offerings are designed to enrich the lives and advance the careers of nurse leaders. There are two continuing education opportunities within the School of Nursing: Emory Nursing Experience and the Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Nursing Education Center.
Emory Nursing Experience
Through the Emory Nursing Experience (ENE), you have access to more than 25 clinically-grounded continuing nursing education courses — including free, online, and self-paced options — developed and led by Emory’s world-class faculty. Courses are designed to help licensed nurses fulfill their requirements for license renewal, further their careers with varying certifications, and continue to provide high-quality patient care.

Addressing Social Determinants of Health in Your Nursing PracticeVie
2HEAL and Emory InMOTION collected over 650 responses from RNs in Georgia on their learning needs around Social Determinants of Health (SDOH). In this learning module series, we address eight SDOH topics and the practical ways nurses can recognize and address them in their practice.
Exploring the Intersection of Climate Change, Pharmaceuticals, and Prescribers in Women's Health
There is a notable gap in the integration of climate change awareness and education into the training and practice of Women's Health Nurse Practitioners. As explored in this course, the gap hinders their ability to effectively recognize and address pregnancy-related complications exacerbated by environmental factors.
“Emory Nursing Experience helped build my confidence to provide the highest level of care and to increase my toolbox of what I’m able to provide for patients. It’s a wonderful stepping stone for anyone interested in advanced practice or other roles in nursing.”
- Brian Bednarz, Nurse Enterostomal Therapist, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center
