Johns Hopkins 2017 DNP - Advanced Practice

Lavie30 · Apr 18, 2017

I made the decision a few weeks ago to decline my offer and attend Duke in the fall ...it was such a tough decision and Hopkins still is and will always be my dream school lol but there were so many things I had to consider. I hope by declining someone else can get it!

I used to live in Baltimore (I went to university of Maryland) don't be intimidated by the area, when I lived in Baltimore I never had a problem either (I did most of my clinical rotations at Hopkins and never had an issue) Don't let the stereotypes people give Baltimore Get to you. honestly Baltimore is an awesome city with tons of history make sure you check out fells point,fed hill, and the inner harbor those were my favorite spots! And when it comes to food Baltimore will make you fall in love!

Good luck at Duke! It's an awesome school, as well! Thank you so much for the reassurance. Everyone keeps telling me how awful it is and I was a little freaked out by the area I saw. But, the campus itself seemed cool. I will definitely check out the spots you mentioned. The only place I went to while I was there was Hunt Valley Towne Centre. It was a nice little mall with a Vaccaro's Italian Pastry Shop (which was delish!) Again, thank you so much for the reassuring words. I wish you lots of luck with your studies! :)

So, current Hopkins NP student here. I want to urge people to avoid choosing hopkins for their NP education. I'm unfortunately over the 50% mark or I would have switched schools.

1. The focus is on research, not practice, so no one really cares how good you are clinically.

2.The school is focused on making money, not high quality education so they turn through tons of students, don't support faculty who are excellent educators, and they don't care about the student well being at all.

3. If you choose to go here you must be excellent at self directed learning because there is almost zero teaching that occurs in the classroom.

4. Clinical placements while they will find them for you, the quality hugely varies and there is no promise that you will get a good site where the instructors is good at educating you or a site where you are essentially just seeing patients for the provider in order to maximize the number of patients they can see.

I'll admit that I am fed up with this program but all my attempts to give feedback to professors and administration are often met with resistance or downright hostility. The name, Hopkins, really lets people think they can do whatever they want and not answer to anyone for it.

Hi there,

I know this thread is old, but I was wondering if any of the accepted students had information regarding scholarship, financial aid, and/or other ways they covered the cost of the DNP program? Also any tips or advice for the interview would be greatly appreciated! I have mine coming up and I'm beyond nervous!

Thanks!
