Has there been a thread created for Johns Hopkins Fall 2018 MSN Entry into Nursing program? is there anyone applying to this program??
Thanks!
I'm very late to this thread! I applied by the Nov. 1 deadline and heard of my acceptance on the 22nd of December! I've paid my deposit but I'm still waiting back from UMD's CNL program - which is also a master's degree.
To the people who were asking earlier, I know that yes for UMD, 15 credits (or around that) will transfer if one decides to pursue the DNP route afternoon completion of the CNL program. I'm not sure about anywhere else...but I haven't looked.
I recently declined my offer of admission to Johns Hopkins, best of luck for people on the waitlist! I firstly just wanted to note that I am COMPLETELY honored to have even been considered at JHU, let alone accepted. I think what it really boiled down to was the disjointed MSN and dnp programs, the cost, and the length of the program. It was always my goal to end up as an FNP, and so continuing to the DNP program at JHU was a must for me, After talking to people on this thread, it became apparent that the MSN would take around 2 years with the DNP taking around another 2 1/2 years (these are rough estimates, this also includes the 16-unit transfer). That, to me, ended up being a lot more time than I had hoped for. Johns Hopkins is #2 in Nursing Schools in the country (I believe), I knew that my education would be stellar, but the time commitment was just too great for me. I also knew the longer I was there, the more I would have to be paying, and I couldn't justify how much I would be forking over just to stay in the program. Other programs (like Columbia, UPenn, Yale) were shorter, seemed to offer more resources and seemed more flexible than JHU. In the end, it was heartbreaking to know that it wouldn't work out. Nevertheless, I hope someone very deserving earns my seat at the table, best of luck to you all!

lcinic, on the admissions site it says student who applied for the January 1st deadline will hear back in early March. In the meantime, I'd just keep busy and the time will fly by! Good luck and I hope to see you in the fall!
