Hi everyone, For those who have gotten decisions and will be attending, there is a FB group if you search JHU DNP advanced practice - fall 2018 start

I'm finishing up my master's entry program and applying to the DNP-FNP. Does anyone know how the program and school really is? I'm curious because I'm at one of the top ranked schools now for my MSN and it has not lived up to our expectations. I've h...

As @jamaral mentioned, the FB group is up now and we can add you if you request. Search Johns Hopkins MSN Entry c/o 2018 and you'll see it. See y'all there!

Hi guys, I'm also part of the Fall 2016 class. I was accepted last year and deferred to this fall. I don't see a FB group yet, so I created one. If there's already one, plz let me know, otherwise join the group! Search for Johns Hopkins Entry MSN c/o...

Nope. I'm guessing it won't be until next week, since the deadline to accept is this Friday.

Bummer, I'm waitlisted. Not sure what my chances are now, but I'm not going to count on it.

@emara9 - Seattle U is the most unorganized program I've encountered. This also happened last year, and they had to allow candidates to interview via skype. I would give them a call and let them know the situation. I'm almost positive they will allow...

Great thoughts. I'll throw my 2 cents about Seattle, since it seems to be one missing here. PROS: Seattle is awesome (GO HAWKS!) if you can tolerate rainy/gloomy weather. The school is located right in the downtown area, so it's a fun place if you li...

Here are the dates for the last few years Interview Notifications: 2010: December 9-16 2011: December 4-5 2012: December 8 2013: December 10 2014: December 7-10 2015: December 4 Interviews: 2010: January 20, 22, 29 2011: January 21, 28 2012: January ...

Yup, same here. I'm on the morning of the 29th.

Has anyone heard anything yet? I've emailed the lady asking about it and haven't gotten a response.

@holahawaii - from what I remember, they will only have access to your goal statement and personal statement. I was told this last time by my interviewers because they said they were trying to guess what school I went to from my statements. They don'...

The interview questions are generally the same ones you get from all of the programs. They may change the way they word things, but it's basically the same thing. They're focused primarily on 1) Why you chose to pursue this degree/career/specialty, 2...

Mine came in today - I'm interviewing on the 29th! Hope to see some of you there!

@SBCvicen - you're not the only one. My mail was delivered today and still no letter ... I'm down in LA which isn't too far, so I'm surprised it hasn't arrived. Oh well, so the wait continues ...

Wow, ok. Thanks so much for that info - calms my nerves a bit. As for recommendations, from what I recall, they have an option for either filling out a short questionnaire or submitting a letter.

@emara9 - I've just found out about the problem with two of my recs. I'm thinking we contact the same person that we've directed other questions to, but I'm not too sure. What do you mean by third parties have more time?

@milkbun - yes, cumulative

@FutureNP2019 - I think getting shadowing experience after you turn in the app is ok, since I was able to get through to the interview round without any direct experience with NPs. @SBCvixen - I've looked through pretty much all the threads from pas...

@futurenp2019 - In my follow up call, they said that overall I was a solid candidate but needed more experience with NPs. I've volunteered at a hospital since the end of 2013, but have been mostly around physicians and PAs. So this year, I'm looking ...

Hi everyone! I'm re-applying to UCSF this year for FNP. If any of you have followed last year's thread, I was one of the candidates who made it to the interview round, didn't ultimately get in, but was selected for a follow up conversation. So, if yo...

@snailszy - I am considering the same thing, since I'm from LA. However, I thought that they required a couple years of work as an RN before applying to the FNP program. Is this different from what you've heard?

Just got my acceptance notification, the email came at 2:08 PDT!

@lexi822 - did you also interview last year? Do our chances go up at all if we've already been interviewed? @ealips - where does it indicate that you were waitlisted?

I also didn't make it for FNP. Bummer. @KubelkoBondy, if you are curious as to the reasons why you weren't admitted or want to know how to improve for next year, you can call XX and ask him to share what he knows about the decision. I called XX this ...
