JHU MSN entry Into Nursing practice Spring 2019

[amc510]

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

I'm with you on that MSN/DNP pathway. Becoming a Psychiatric Mental Health NP is in the back of my mind.

I was just reading information about BSN versus MSN/DNP today because I was curious to know the difference. I learned that you can take on different roles with a Master's (i.e. RN, or become an APRN/Nurse Educator/Healthcare Business Management/Clinical Care Roles)! Without a doubt, having an advanced degree will make you more competitive in the job market.

With that said, I hope things work out, and I wish you all the best!

Thank you! Same to you!

Hey everyone I applied also. Does anyone know when they will be sending out decisions? I just got into Duke and I have to accept/decline by the end of july but I really like Hopkins. I know they evaluate applications as they come in (that's why they suggest applying as early as possible) but do they still release all the decisions at once?

[amc510, MSN, RN]

Congrats on Duke! I considered applying there as well. I emailed admissions to ask when we'd hear, and they said end of August/early September. I know some schools will give you an extension on decision deadlines. Might be worth a try!

Sorry for replying back so late. I was unable to attend the JHU summer information session, but I found a virtual one recently posted on their website, and I found it to be really helpful. I was late to the game for this July 1 deadline, so I am going to apply for Fall 2019 instead. I wish you all luck! JHU is a dream school!

Hey @KMD51, July 1st was the priority deadline! I'm sure you can still submit!

[akp1993]

@KMD51 You can still submit! Final deadline is October 1st, I believe.

Hello!!

I applied for Spring 2019 as well. @KMD51 - you can still apply! July 1 was for early action.

Finally got the email that my application had been verified! I submitted back on June 12, but one of my references was a hold out until the last possible minute (she literally submitted on 6/31). So now the waiting begins! My cumulative GPA is lower than I'd like, but I am a non-traditional student. My last 60 or so credits are close to a 3.8 (I didn't care about school in my early 20's, but when I finished my BS in my early 30's, I did much better). So I wrote an addendum. I am really hoping that helps!

Have you guys received a confirmation email from Hopkins saying they received your application? Do they even send one? I only got the confirmation email from NursingCAS.

[MDWnurse, MSN]

I received a letter from Hopkins saying they received notification that I submitted my application, and they gave further instructions/tips on finishing the NursingCAS process.

Has anyone received an email from JHU about you are on your way? what to do while waiting....
