ATLANTA (February 20, 2020) – Emory University’s Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing continues to elevate the level of nursing education. Through a newly-expanded continuing nursing education (CNE) offering from the Emory Nursing Experience (ENE), nurses around the globe will have access to valuable coursework developed by Emory’s world-class faculty. As the healthcare landscape shifts and medical best practices evolve, having access to leading nursing education is critical to the ability to care for patients.
In most states, nurses are required to renew their licenses every two years. As part of this renewal, there is typically a CNE requirement. Rated the nation's 4th best graduate nursing schools by U.S. News & World Report, Emory Nursing is uniquely positioned to deliver the CNE coursework practicing nurses need to further their careers and continue high-quality patient care.
“Nursing education is critical for the development of our caregivers and the successful care of patients,” said Linda McCauley, PhD, RN, FAAN, dean of Emory's Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing. “Emory Nursing Experience’s courses are about more than just checking the box. The curriculum demonstrates the best in evidence-based coursework from some of the country’s preeminent healthcare experts to help nurses grow their careers and gain certifications.”
“As a health system, we thrive on education,” said Sharon H. Pappas, PhD, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN, chief nursing executive, Emory Healthcare. “With the ever-changing healthcare environment, we need to make sure our nurses are equipped to handle any situation. With an emphasis on continuing nursing education, our nurses can better care for patients and make an impact on their communities.”
Emory Nursing provides value for its students through Continuing Education coursework focused on growing careers, providing opportunities for new certification and specialization. As a one-stop-shop, nurses can take advantage of ENE’s easy-to-use platform that keeps track of CNE credits. This allows nurses to more easily renew their licenses.

Through innovative and easy-to-use technology, nurses can not only fulfill their CNE requirements but coordinate their education to fit their needs in a stress-free environment.”
