Has anyone heard anything about scholarships or anything for the DNP program? The total cost of attendance for the program looks very, very expensive....

Still waiting to hear back on an acceptance, I applied Jan 1st so I should know by March. But how much is it supposed to be for the full program? I calculated around 134k tuition alone ... I only saw extremely specific scholarships on the site like for Peace Corp members or Americorp members

I saw that the estimated cost of attendance with tuition, estimated room and board, health insurance, and other expenses is approximated at about $78,600 for the 2018-2019 school year...I think they adjust it (aka increase it) by like 3-4% each year...

Wow! Yeah that's a lot.

Hi Everyone!

I visited JHU SON yesterday. The area around the hospital campus where the school of nursing is located is not the greatest. I don't think it's as scary as others have made it out to be, but then again, I work in NYC in Washington Heights so I may be a little desensitized. They do have security outposts surround the hospital campus and they mentioned that security escort is available 24/7 to walk you to your car, etc. They actually don't recommend students live in that immediate area unless it's in one of two buildings nearby and even then they said you shouldn't walk home alone (or even to your car) late at night without security escort.

The school itself is all in one building, connected to a smaller building that houses admissions, registrar, and financial aid. It seemed like a small cozy school. They are in the process of starting a new renovation on one of the buildings which is expected to be completed in 3 yrs. They also showed me Florence Nightingale's wheelchair which some doctor found and donated to the school lol.

Overall, I loved the feel of the school, the structure of their program, and the focus on increasing access to the underserved. I've been accepted into another great program, but JHU is still my first choice. Looks like it's going to come down to the cost of attendance for me and whether I can afford to go :-(

Looking at the area of Hopkins is located seems scary and not a place where I personally would like to live in. I was also accepted into Duke which I will probably be going there rather than Hopkins. Great school but the area no.

The area around definitely has its scary parts, like other cities. My friend lives 10 minutes away from John Hopkins, he says its ok. Congrats on getting accepted at Duke! I got accepted to their MSN yesterday, and they're still reviewing my DNP app.

They actually don't recommend you live within the area of the school. Most students I believe live in a different neighborhood and take either the free JHU shuttle or the city bus or metro to get to school. I didn't mind the area too much. I loved the school itself, but I think I'm going to end up having to choose Columbia since I could live at home and save out on room and board...
