As a student, you have taken that first step by making a commitment to return to school and further your education. As I frequently say in class, there will be speed bumps along the way in the road you chose, but through your nursing education here at Emory's School of Nursing, you will learn the skills necessary to navigate around those obstacles and reach the finish line. Make a difference, one patient at a time.
