• Preceptorship We were encouraging NOT to work during our masters program and because we also had the opportunity to get a MPH at the same time, the academics were taxing. THIS PROGRAM IS QUITE A BIT MORE THEORETICAL THAN PRACTICAL, AND SO UPON ARRIVING AT A PRECEPTORSHIP IN A RURAL HEALTH CLINIC A COUPLE HOURS AWAY, I HAD TO BE ASSISTED A LOT. AFTER WORKING FOR SOME YEARS, I FOUND THE OTHER NPs DID NOT HAVE THE SAME EXPERIENCE AT BEING SO ILL PREPARED. - Alum
• Great experience The program prepared me well to be an entry-level NP. Preparing and assisting to get on the first job was challenging since I moved away from GA. However, Emory's name value helped me get the most jobs I applied for. - Alum
• Expensive Emory is primarily a research school so some professors are not great at teaching. There was a lot of online work so that made things flexible. Precepting locations may not be at sites or with specialties that you're interested in. The pricey tuition does not mean you get more perks or better education so only go if you can afford it. - Alum
• Master FNP Student experience Although the student workload was heavy, I was able to work part-time work as a RN but I worked primarily home health so it was easier and flexible with my schedule. The school identified preceptorships and I did not pay anything for them. My last semester the school was very accomodating and agreed to me being in Africa for my preceptorship. They did not need to help me find work post-school because I also already had a plan. - Alum
• Family NP program Helpful on preceptorship placement. Able to work part time/school part time until clinicals, then worked PRN. - Alum
