Nurse Practitioner Program: Hopkins or UPenn?

[sofiasofia]

Has anyone attended an NP program at either the Hopkins or UPenn? I am planning on pursuing a Family NP track, but it'd be great to have some 'inside' information on the NP program quality in general. If you have been at either graduate school, how did you like it (what are the pros and cons of either school)?

Thank you for your input! :loveya:

I love that you are choosing between the very best. Both are excellent. I did not attend either, but I would encourage you to ask the schools if you can talk to some of their graduates to learn more about their actual experiences. If one of them says no, then you will know not to go there, because they have something to hide. Both should say yes though, and that will give you an opportunity to learn first hand. Get a bunch of questions together on a form for interviewing, and fill in the blanks as they talk to you. Then do some comparisons between the 2 schools.

Hope this helps, and Good Luck!
