1. Johns Hopkins University DNP - FNP/AGPC Fall 2024

   Starfish111 replied to FutureDNPAGPC's topic in NP Students

   I was denied a plce in the psych PM cert program. I'm OK with this, will instead start in a much cheaper state program this Fall, albeit less prestigious but still good. Thank goodness for options! Congrats for those who got in, but know you are OK ...

   You are a practicing PMHNP, right? There is plenty of time for a DNP.

   I am so sorry! But if you have the time, med school is the way to go!

4. College direction needed - want to become a PMHNP

   Starfish111 replied to the_psych_nurse's topic in NP Students

   You can't become a PMHNP without graduate school, so you have a long road ahead of you full of classes. But you can do it! Find the program that works for you (I'm assuming a remote one?), talk to their advisors, ask them where to start. You could fi...

5. Johns Hopkins University DNP - FNP/AGPC Fall 2024

   Starfish111 replied to FutureDNPAGPC's topic in NP Students

   Must be nice to have a friend in admissions! Do you know if they have looked at the late PMHNP post-grad cert apps yet? When I go into CAS, my letters of recommendation were "received" but not "processed". For the other two schools to which I applied...

   It's Spring Break next week.

7. Johns Hopkins University DNP - FNP/AGPC Fall 2024

   Starfish111 replied to FutureDNPAGPC's topic in NP Students

   I was just accepted to a less prestigious but solid program, and will likely accept it rather than wait for JHU. I want to go where I'm clearly wanted, and cost is a factor. My first NP degree was with a top rated school, and to be honest, the presti...

8. Johns Hopkins University DNP - FNP/AGPC Fall 2024

   Starfish111 replied to FutureDNPAGPC's topic in NP Students

   I haven't even been asked for an interview. My application was verified 1/30, however. Post-grad PMHNP cert program.

9. Johns Hopkins University DNP - FNP/AGPC Fall 2024

   Starfish111 replied to FutureDNPAGPC's topic in NP Students

   The DNP admissions committee meets again 3/12. Is it possible that on 3/12 they review as a group the final candidate scoring/ranking (ie. their own internal ranking of each candidate based on GPA, essays, letters, interview, etc, and as scored by on...

10. NP to physician... is it possible?

    Starfish111 replied to FamNP123's topic in NP

    Of course you can. But know that 84K is low pay for an NP and that you can/should be earning 100K+. Unless you will regret not going to medical school, in my opinion you ahould maximize being an NP since this job is IDEAL for balancing work life with...

    To which program did you apply, and was your application verified before the priority deadline?

12. Johns Hopkins University DNP - FNP/AGPC Fall 2024

    Starfish111 replied to FutureDNPAGPC's topic in NP Students

    Did your friend also apply to DNP PMHNP? I have applied to the PM cert for psych and assume the applications are reviewed either with or after the DNP apps, but it's good to hear that others are also waiting for an interview. I applied late (ie. CAS ...

14. 2017 Grad. Rejected from Grad School x2

    Starfish111 replied to emERgency.nurse17's topic in General Students

    And I have to agree with the post that where you attend school is irrelevant. This is absolutely true in the workplace. I've been an NP for >10 years, worked several jobs. Where you attend school is irrelevant unless it's on your company's website...

15. 2017 Grad. Rejected from Grad School x2

    Starfish111 replied to emERgency.nurse17's topic in General Students

    I received my MN/NP from a top tier school. They rejected me the first year. I called the school, eventually spoke to one of the professors in charge of the specific focus I was interested in, and asked for advice. Rather than untake undergrad work, ...
