JHU MSN entry Into Nursing practice Spring 2019

Published

I didn't see a thread already. Is anyone applying for Spring 2019?

Thanks! You made me feel much better! Yes well Emory certainly isn't cheap, nor Villanova, but I will save some money not enrolling into JHU! LOL!

I thought decisions didn't come out until December .

Hmm that's interesting who knows? I still didn't get my "decision" letter..I know it is a letter, but was told they went out early this week and some went out the Friday before..I just know I am getting one of them, so there is no more need for me to obsessively check my inbox anymore..LOL

I turned down my offer from JHSON. One more spot open to someone on the waitlist.

Good luck!

While JH is the #1 nursing school in the country...the MSN isn't specialized at all. Knowing that as a new grad, you will get paid the same amount as a BSN holder, having a specialized degree [for me] offers more earning power in the future down the road. Getting a MSN means I will have to go back to school again to become specialized [NP, Leadership, etc] in order to increase my earning power.

This being said, University of Maryland offers the CNL Masters, Yale, Emory, University of Rochester, and Vanderbilt offers the NP. I would rather spend the money to get a specialized nursing masters degree in an area that will guarantee money down the road [that will also help me payback said investment].

Does this make sense?

Yes of course! I couldn't agree more. University of VA also has a new CNL program as well. I think that is the wave of the future . And seriously who would want to pay so much more money and endure the stress to get the Master's when in the end, it is no more than the Bachelor's..Amen!

Hello! I have accepted at JHU and just decided to actually attend in the spring! I am super excited/nervous. I was wondering if there is a facebook group or something? I am from Virginia and I'm trying to connect with fellow classmates! I also am seeking help with housing? I would appreciate any input. Thanks! :)
