1. Fall 2019 Johns Hopkins MSN: Entry Into Nursing Hopeful

   sesw1 replied to BJTee's topic in School Programs

   For some of the assignments, groups are assigned, and others you can choose. I didn't have any horrible experiences with my groups. It's important to remember that each cohort is going to be different, and I can't speak to every student's experience.

2. Fall 2019 Johns Hopkins MSN: Entry Into Nursing Hopeful

   sesw1 replied to BJTee's topic in School Programs

   I'm also a second semester student. We don't have any papers that are explicitly called 'research papers', but every writing assignment/presentation that you have in nursing school has to be backed by EBP (i.e., journals or textbooks). Unless they ch...

3. ABSN Programs

   sesw1 replied to Cecelia12's topic in School Programs

   Unless you have a huge aversion to taking chemistry for the lab, I would go ahead and take it - especially if it will boost your GPA. A lot of programs that I'd applied to required it, and it'll reinforce some of the concepts of your nursing courses....

4. Fall 2019 Johns Hopkins MSN: Entry Into Nursing Hopeful

   sesw1 replied to BJTee's topic in School Programs

   You shouldn't have to apply for Financial Aid before accepting your admission offer for JHU. If they offer you a scholarship, it seems that they usually call students within a week of them receiving their acceptance letter to notify them. I'm a curre...

5. Johns Hopkins University (JHU) MSN-E Fall 2019

   sesw1 replied to Danni_Elle's topic in School Programs

   Is the Nov. 1 deadline application for both Summer and Fall cohorts or are there 2 separate applications? Asking for a friend of mine who is interested in starting ASAP. (I was recently admitted for Spring 19!)

6. Anatomy & Physiology 2 Exam 2 Any Possible Tips for Heart and Blood Vessels)

   sesw1 replied to Scoobyfn8's topic in General Students

   I LOVED the heart and blood vessels unit, I find it absolutely fascinating. Is it both conceptual as well as practical? Do the obvious - ask your professor questions, look at animations online, and study as much as possible. The concepts are a little...

7. ABSN vs. Direct Entry MSN?

   sesw1 replied to sesw1's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thank you guys for your input. I'm seeing a lot more pros to the MSN than I had previously thought of. It's all a lot to consider & I appreciate you weighing in!

8. Direct Entry MSN vs Accelerated BSN- hopeful midwife

   sesw1 replied to futureRN987's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I don't think direct entry MSN gives you a huge leg-up generally, but it really depends on your individual situation. Where I live, many of the ABSN programs are about as costly as direct entry MSN programs when you break it down monthly, but that ma...

9. Low cumulative GPA. Hope for ABSN?

   sesw1 replied to sleepymonkey022's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I think it's going to really depend on the school. If you have a written component/statement of purpose, I would definitely acknowledge that moment in your life in some way, and incorporate an explanation for it if the prompt allows it - it may be a ...

10. Personal Statement Help!

    sesw1 replied to Anne76's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I agree with the above posters that this experience really does need to be your own. I think you may be overthinking it. Take a step back and take out the words "healthcare experience" and just ask if you can apply these principles to ANY experience ...

11. ABSN vs. Direct Entry MSN?

    sesw1 replied to sesw1's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thanks for weighing in - it's actually nice hearing from someone who's gone through a direct entry MSN that can kind of speak to the post-grad flexibility. Part of the reason I'm struggling a lot with the decision is that there aren't many ABSN progr...

    Love all of your feedback - extremely helpful! Thanks so much for taking the time to respond.

13. Accelerated Nursing Program

    sesw1 replied to gonz.jpg's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I think maybe it would actually be worthwhile for you to do some more clinical hours. PA & NP are actually quite different, and you might benefit from seeing the different roles PAs, RNs, NPs, and many others play in the clinical field. I actuall...

14. ABSN vs. Direct Entry MSN?

    sesw1 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    There are a couple of these threads already but they're a little dated. I wanted to know what people who are experienced in the field feel about ABSN vs. direct entry MSN programs? I'm trying to decide between Hopkins direct entry MSN and 2 ABSN prog...
