Students enrolled in the program earn a nursing degree in just one year of study.</p><p>The program’s small size, with classes limited to 30 students, assures that every student has individual attention and can get to know their classmates. Each cohort of new students is welcomed to the program with a live, synchronous orientation prior to starting the program so that you know the program’s expectations, your instructors and your classmates even before you begin to study.</p><p>As part of an intimate, team-based learning community, you engage in a full-time, rigorous program of online study that develops your clinical and critical thinking skills. By using a blend of lecture and practice based on the clinical judgment instructional model, every graduate of Emory is prepared to enter the nursing profession with solid practice skills and the confidence to use those skills to help people who need competent, caring nurses.</p><p>Your clinical rotations are completed in a combination of on-campus intensive rotations and selected sites near your home, but can also include optional learning in immersive local, regional—or even international healthcare settings.</p><p>To be eligible for admission to the program, you must have earned a previous bachelor’s degree in another discipline from an accredited college or university before starting the DABSN program. But with three program starts each year, in August, January and May, you don’t have to wait. </p><p><a href="https://apply.nursing.emory.edu/apply/">Apply now!</a> </p><p>The DABSN program is designed for students living outside the Atlanta metro region to enable access to Emory’s highly-regarded education to students throughout the United States. A special focus of the program is to address nursing workforce shortages by encouraging students to complete clinicals in their home communities and expanding the nursing workforce by filling positions in healthcare systems in areas designated as high-need or medically underserved. (Students within the Atlanta metro region should apply to Emory's residential <a href="https://www.nursing.emory.edu/program-details/master-of-nursing-mn-pre-licensure-program"><strong>MN program</strong></a>.)</p><p>The DABSN experience offers a unique, intensive program, requiring you to enroll for three continuous semesters combining classroom and clinical work. You participate in virtual classroom courses via the internet, using real-time synchronous learning with live Emory faculty, supplemented with recorded content. The program uses a form of active learning that poses questions, problems or scenarios to promote critical thinking and sound clinical judgment. You are expected to contribute from your experience; every student is both a consumer and provider of knowledge. Our holistic admission process evaluates your ability to be both.</p><p>Foundational course work is completed during the first semester of the program, and clinical practice is aligned with course content throughout your study to reinforce learning in an engaged, supportive environment that fosters your professional and clinical development.</p><p>In the clinical portion of your study, you participate in clinical experiences near your home and are assigned a faculty member as the clinical site visitor to support one-to-one clinical experiences overseen by an experienced on-site clinical nurse preceptor. Many nursing programs assign students to work in groups with preceptors, but not this one. We believe your learning is more efficient and more effective when you work with a preceptor who is focused on you and your learning objectives.</p><p>You are also required to successfully complete two on-campus, Atlanta-based, intensive clinical rotations with your fellow classmates at the end of your first semester and at the end of your third and final semester just before graduation, with related expenses included in the program’s regular tuition and fees. The cost of travel and accommodations are covered in the regular tuition and fees for the program whenever the program requires you to visit to the Emory campus.*</p><p><em>*Students in the distance-based program do not have the option to choose clinical study in Atlanta as an alternative to assigned clinical sites near students’ residences.</em></p><p>The Atlanta-based clinical sessions include:</p><ul role="list"><li>Your initial two to two and a half-week clinical experience in your first semester, with focus on health assessment, nursing skills, simulated learning and your first hospital-based clinical rotation. This foundation enables you to enter your local clinical site prepared for precepted clinical learning appropriate to your level as a competent student nurse.</li><li>The last semester, one-week capstone session includes a licensure test (NCLEX) review, presentations of capstone student projects, and on-campus simulations.

Session content is often driven by questions from participants, thus may differ slightly from session to session. </p><p><em>What is the cost of this program?</em></p><p>The cost of the program will be approximately $82,000, billed each semester at a credit hour rate based on the number of credit hours taken. An online fee per semester and a one-time laboratory fee are also assessed. We seek to limit the expense of textbooks and course materials to $1500 for the entire program.</p><p>Students requiring health insurance coverage will be charged an insurance premium. License testing preparation fees and a licensing test review course are included as part of tuition and fees.</p><p><em>What about supplies for the program?</em></p><p>During required DABSN orientation, the faculty and staff will review all the required expectations for the program including supplies, shoes, uniforms, etc. A dashboard is provided to students with links and examples for your textbooks, scrubs, and other supplies. When you begin the program, you receive a kit containing basic clinical supplies, also included in standard tuition and fees. The program may have access to scrubs donated by program alumni, available to students free of charge. The link for purchasing scrubs is in your Dashboard Canvas course for all students and is reviewed during orientation.</p><p><em>What about financial aid</em>? </p><p>Students who have not used all of their federal loan eligibility from a prior degree may be eligible for student loans. Most students finance the DABSN degree with a combination of personal funds and private loans.</p><p><em>Are current and former students available to talk about their experience in the program?</em></p><p>Yes, recent graduates and current enrolled students are available and happy to speak with potential and admitted students in the DABSN program. If you would like to be connected, please ask.</p><p><em>How is a sense of community built among classmates living in distant locations?</em></p><p>Students attend live classes together and are expected to work together every day to respond to questions and contribute to discussions. You also work together on group projects. Our class size of no more than 30 students naturally encourages group interaction to develop during onsite sessions and in group projects.</p><p>Our faculty are also an important part of the learning community. When courses are in progress, faculty are available during virtual office hours and via telephone and email as needed to facilitate learning and support students.</p><p><em>Should students be concerned about joining a distance-based nursing program?</em></p><p>Our School of Nursing is highly ranked nationally and has offered BSN programs since 1944. We began offering our accelerated BSN (ABSN) program in 2011, and the distance-based program is built upon the solid foundation of our on-campus program. In 2017 100% of our ABSN students passed NCLEX, the certification examination to become a professional registered nurse (RN); and our overall NCLEX pass rate for all of our pre-licensure programs was 99%, well above the national average of 85%.</p><p>Our dedicated full-time faculty work closely to equip students for success. Students are assigned clinical site faculty visitors to coordinate and oversee all clinical experiences .and expert preceptors work with you and you clinical faculty one-to-one within the clinical setting.</p><p><em>How do students in the program preserve a positive work/life balance? </em></p><p>The three-semester program is rigorous and intense, requiring students to spend 8-10 hours per day interacting in online sessions with classmates, working on individual projects, or reading and studying. While the program is intense, it is designed to quickly move you to your academic goal—a nursing degree and career. Employment, even part time, while enrolled in the program is discouraged and no allowances are made because of conflicts with outside work schedules.</p><p>Courses are sequenced to build on prior knowledge, and clinical rotations enhance the application of concepts learned in course work. Fellow classmates create a sense of community, and faculty members foster connections and are closely involved with your progress.</p><p>Before you enroll in the program, it is important to talk to family members and significant others about the commitment you are making. Streamline your budget as much as possible and create patterns of positive health behaviors that include good nutrition, exercise, and sleep. Identify and practice coping strategies you’ve used successfully in the past; coping strategies such as mindfulness and yoga may be helpful.</p><p><em>What is the job outlook for students in the program?</em></p><p>Most our graduates receive job offers prior to graduation. Nationally, 99% of nurses are employed within three to six months of graduation. Working in the health system in which you have completed clinical study may also provide an advantage in the hiring process. Graduates of all nursing programs must pass the NCLEX-RN licensure examination to begin working as a registered nurse. The last few months of the program focus on preparation for the NCLEX-RN certification examination, and include a review course and assessment testing. The cost of NCLEX Assessment Testing and a review course are built into the program.</p><p>Some of our graduates will study toward a future master’s degree (MSN), Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP), or a PhD in Nursing. Emory offers nine specialty areas of study for those who choose to pursue a career in advanced nursing (nurse practitioner or midwifery). For graduates working in a critical care unit (intensive care or cardiac care), Emory’s certified registered nurse anesthesia (CRNA) program may be of interest.</p><p><em>What if prospective students have specific questions about the program?</em></p><p>Watch for our virtual information sessions. Times are posted on the School of Nursing website, and recordings of the information sessions are available. Please contact the DABSN program with program questions or contact the Office of Enrollment and Student Affairs for information about your application.</p><p>‍</p><h3>ELIGIBILITY AND ADMISSIONS QUESTIONS</h3><p><em>Will students be able to enroll from anywhere in the United States?</em></p><p>Currently, students are accepted from states with existing clinical affiliations. Additional states are being added on a continual basis, so please follow up directly with inquiries about your specific state. There are several states that currently do not support DABSN enrollment, including but not limited to, California, Texas, Tennessee, New York, Oregon, and New Jersey.</p><p><em>When are application materials due? </em></p><p>Completed applications are reviewed as they are received. (See website tab for admission requirements.) If you are notified that a cohort is full, you are advised to notify the Office of Student Enrollment if you would like to be considered for admission in the next cycle. Applicants are not required to submit a second deposit or resubmit materials already present in their application file. For questions about the application process, please contact the School of Nursing's Office of Enrollment and Student Affairs at 404.727.7980.</p><p><em>How are candidates evaluated for admission?</em></p><p>Completed applications are reviewed in a holistic process that includes evaluation of transcripts, and work and life experiences. If there are factors that you would like to be considered that are not required as part of the application, you should communicate these in your application. You may be asked to participate in an interview as a part of the admission process.</p><p><em>Do you require all transcripts if I have attended multiple schools?</em></p><p>Yes. All transcripts must be submitted, even if only one class was taken at an institution. Science and life science-related courses and grades receive particular attention.</p><p><em>How do I accept an offer of admission?</em></p><p>Once you’re admitted, a deposit is required to hold your place in the program and is applied to your first tuition bill. We offer admission to applicants each semester until we receive deposits from the limit of 30 enrolled students. </p><p><em>Does Emory offer online prerequisite classes? </em></p><p>Emory does not offer online prerequisite courses. Prerequisites can be taken at any accredited university, either online or on campus. Please note the credit hours required to fulfill admission eligibility requirements. Applicants should contact the Office of Enrollment and Student Affairs with questions about whether particular courses fulfill the prerequisite requirements.</p><p>‍</p><h3>Course Work Questions</h3><p><em>What is the format for the distance classes?<br/></em><strong><em> </em></strong>Courses will be offered in 6-8 week sessions for six total sessions (three consecutive semesters--refer to the current plan of study for specific class dates and times). Our curriculum, using the clinical judgment model, uses an active learning approach in which you must be present and participate to receive maximum benefit. Prior to scheduled class times (based on Eastern Standard Time), students prepare by watching pre-recorded lectures and completing course readings. During scheduled real-time class sessions, students participate in active learning strategies, including discussions among class members, for application and analysis of course content.</p><p>Students should plan to spend 8-10 hours per day working on assignments, readings, and studying. Clinical rotations vary based on the preceptor’s daily schedule; we anticipate, however, that preceptors work standard 12-hour nursing shifts. Students should expect some course assignments to be due during clinical rotations, but your clinical requirements will never conflict with scheduled class sessions.</p><p><em>How are students tested?</em></p><p>We use an online proctoring service for testing to ensure test integrity. Testing is at an application and evaluation level using multiple choice, multiple-multiple choice and other methods to prepare you for the nursing license (NCLEX) exam.</p><p><em>How are students prepared in basic nursing skills before beginning clinical practice? How is simulation incorporated into the program? </em></p><p>During the first on-campus clinical visit, you practice nursing skills through laboratory and simulated experiences, are evaluated for basic skills competence and complete your first clinical experience at an Emory Healthcare site under the supervision of an Emory clinical faculty member.</p><p><em>Where do students stay during visits to campus? Are transportation and lodging provided?</em></p><p>Round trip travel to Atlanta and hotel accommodations are provided for each student from their approved home location. A meal allowance is provided, but some meals are provided during the on-campus programming. These costs are included in your tuition and fees.</p><p>‍</p><h3>Clinical Placement Questions</h3><p><em>How are clinical sites and preceptors chosen in the state where I live? Will I make the clinical site arrangement or will Emory? </em></p><p>Emory identifies clinical sites and manages the requirements for student placement. You are not responsible for your clinical arrangements. Emory identifies and assigns experienced clinical site faculty visitors and preceptors for each rotation in your local geographic areas, as available. Although placements are not guaranteed, no student enrolled in the DABSN program has never failed to graduate on time because of a lack of clinical practice hours.</p><p><em>How does Emory evaluate clinical sites and preceptors, and how is clinical performance evaluated? </em></p><p>Local clinical preceptors work with school-assigned clinical site faculty visitors to support your clinical experience, including review of course objectives, clinical assignments and student evaluations. Site evaluations also occur annually, or more frequently if needed.</p></div><div id="w-node-b30f84e0-e8ba-fb1e-5f31-9094d1525bfd-3cfd3f4f" class="offset-section-side-content-wrapper w-condition-invisible"><div class="sticky-on-desktop"><div class="side-content w-dyn-bind-empty w-richtext"></div></div></div></div><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5f11b1201240046a043a64e4/5f11b12012400439563a6569_DOTS.png" sizes="(max-width: 767px) 93vw, 47vw" srcset="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5f11b1201240046a043a64e4/5f11b12012400439563a6569_DOTS-p-500.png 500w, https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5f11b1201240046a043a64e4/5f11b12012400439563a6569_DOTS.png 1282w" alt="" class="dots spacing---medium"/></div><div id="section-5" class="main-content-section-wrapper"><h2 class="thin">Technical Standards for Nursing Applicants and Enrolled Students</h2><div class="bar background---light-gray spacing---small"></div><div class="main-section-content-grid"><div id="w-node-e8aa51ee-59fb-c05f-459f-72539c08c27d-3cfd3f4f" class="main-section-content w-richtext"><p>When considering nursing as a career, students must evaluate their abilities and skills. To succeed in a nursing program, you must possess certain abilities and skills deemed essential for the care of patients. These abilities and skills, as determined by Emory University nursing faculty, are as follows:</p><p><strong>Behavioral and Professional Expectations</strong></p><p>Students must possess the physical and emotional health necessary to apply intellectual abilities and use sound judgment in a variety of situations. Students must be able to function effectively under physically taxing workloads and in times of physical and mental stress. Students must display compassion, sensitivity, and concern for others and consistently maintain and display professional integrity<strong>.</strong></p><p><strong>Observation</strong></p><p>Students enrolled in the nursing program should have adequate vision, hearing, sense of smell and other sensory modalities to enable them to observe and conduct patient assessments, perform skills demonstrations and simulations, and participate in other activities.</p><p><strong>Communication</strong></p><p>Students must be able to write and speak fluently in English, and to hear well enough to exchange information with patients, family members, and other health professionals. Students must read and write effectively in English to fulfill academic requirements and to maintain accurate clinical records of patient care. Foreign language proficiency is also often valuable in clinical care settings, but is not a requirement for the program.</p><p><strong>Motor</strong></p><p>Nursing students should be able to conduct laboratory and diagnostic tests and perform physical assessments. You are required to have sufficient motor skills to draw information from patients through hands-on diagnostic procedures including palpation, auscultation, percussion, and other skills. You must possess motor skills required for your scope of practice as determined by the relevant accrediting organization. You must also be able to coordinate fine and gross muscular movements in order to care for patients.</p><p><strong>Intellectual-Conceptual, Integrative, and Quantitative Abilities</strong></p><p>These abilities include an aptitude for rapid problem solving, the capability to assess and interpret medical files independently, and evaluate physical examinations to formulate a logical plan of care. Students must demonstrate good judgment in patient assessment and develop the ability to incorporate new information, understand complex relationships, and have the ability to retain and recall pertinent information. Students must also be able to learn to provide in-depth rationale for a proposed plan of care.</p></div><div id="w-node-e8aa51ee-59fb-c05f-459f-72539c08c27e-3cfd3f4f" class="offset-section-side-content-wrapper"><div class="sticky-on-desktop"><div class="side-content w-richtext"><h3>Accommodations</h3><p>The Emory University Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing is committed to <a href="http://accessibility.emory.edu/students/index.html">accommodating the needs of students with documented disabilities</a> and does so to the extent reasonable without compromising the essential components of the curriculum, including didactic and clinical experiences.</p><p>Address any questions or concerns regarding these technical standards to the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education at dabsn@emory.edu. </p><p>‍</p><p>‍</p></div></div></div></div><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5f11b1201240046a043a64e4/5f11b12012400439563a6569_DOTS.png" sizes="(max-width: 767px) 93vw, 47vw" srcset="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5f11b1201240046a043a64e4/5f11b12012400439563a6569_DOTS-p-500.png 500w, https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5f11b1201240046a043a64e4/5f11b12012400439563a6569_DOTS.png 1282w" alt="" class="dots spacing---medium"/></div><div id="FAQ" class="main-content-section-wrapper w-condition-invisible"><h2 class="thin">FAQ</h2><div class="bar background---light-gray spacing---small"></div><div class="faq_richtext w-dyn-bind-empty w-richtext"></div><div class="w-embed w-script"><style> .faq_richtext p{ /* margin-block-start: 0em; */ } .faq_wrapper { margin-left: 3em; margin-bottom: .2em; height: auto; position:relative; } .faq_indicator { left: -1.5em; top: 0.5em; font-size: 1.5em; position: absolute; opacity: .5; transition: all .2s; } .faq_indicator::before { content: "⯈"; } .faq_indicator_active { transform: rotate(90deg); } .faq_question { padding: 1em; background-color: rgba(0,0,100,.1); cursor: pointer; } .faq_question:hover { cursor:pointer; } .faq_question p { margin-block-end: 0em; margin-block-start: 0em; } .faq_answer { max-height: 0px; padding: .5em 1em 0em 1em; overflow: hidden; transition: max-height 0.3s; /* color: gray; */ } .faq_answer_show { max-height:200em; overflow-y: auto; } .faq_richtext :is(h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6) { margin-top: 1em; } </style> <script> function changeFAQRichTextDivs (){ //target parent elements const parentClassName = "faq_richtext" const wrapperClassName = "faq_wrapper" const questionClassName = "faq_question" const answerClassName = "faq_answer" const answerShowClass = "faq_answer_show" const faqIndicatorClass = "faq_indicator" const faqIndicatorActiveClass = "faq_indicator_active" //function to target answers to toggle state function toggleAnswer (id){ let element = document.getElementById(id) element.classList.toggle(answerShowClass) } //counters let parentIDcounter = 0; let questionIDcounter = 0; const faqParents = Array.from(document.getElementsByClassName(parentClassName)) faqParents.forEach(faqParent =>{ parentIDcounter++; let faqObjectGroup = []; let questionStaging = []; let answerStaging = []; // gather all paragraphs const paragraphs = Array.from(faqParent.children); // this function packages the questions and answers in their own divs function createFAQDIV (questions, answers) { questionIDcounter++; let faqID = `FAQ-Wrapper:${parentIDcounter}:${questionIDcounter}`; let faqQuestionID = `Question:${parentIDcounter}:${questionIDcounter}`; let faqAnswerID = `Answer:${parentIDcounter}:${questionIDcounter}`; let faqIndicatorID = `Arrow:${parentIDcounter}:${questionIDcounter}`; let faqWrapper = document.createElement("DIV"); let faqQuestion = document.createElement("DIV"); let faqAnswer = document.createElement("DIV"); let faqIndicator = document.createElement("DIV"); faqWrapper.className = wrapperClassName; faqWrapper.id = faqID; faqQuestion.className = questionClassName; faqQuestion.id = faqQuestionID; faqAnswer.className = answerClassName; faqAnswer.id = faqAnswerID; faqIndicator.className = faqIndicatorClass; faqIndicator.id = faqIndicatorID faqQuestion.onclick = () => { document.getElementById(faqAnswerID).classList.toggle(answerShowClass) document.getElementById(faqIndicatorID).classList.toggle(faqIndicatorActiveClass) } questions.forEach(question => { faqQuestion.appendChild(question) }) answers.forEach(answer =>{ faqAnswer.appendChild(answer) }) faqWrapper.append(faqQuestion) faqWrapper.append(faqAnswer) faqQuestion.append(faqIndicator) return faqWrapper; } // Function checks if text is an FAQ question based on strong tags function isThisAQuestion(text){ const strongStringOpen = "<strong>"; const strongStringClose = "</strong>" let questionObject = {}; questionObject.containsStrongText = text.includes(strongStringOpen) ?
