Hi, Yes, I believe you can. For my clinical rotations in my prior program, I needed to have a Maryland RN license and I think that was all. Not sure about the NP license. I informed the program that I would move to do rotations early on. The clinical placement team was more helpful then. In my interview for this program, I was told outright that they would not help with finding our preceptors. So you must secure placement. They use a program, Exxat, that shows you all of the available sites or sites that have been used in the past by other students. You may already have sites that have been in approved in your home state that other NPs have used. It is easier when there is an affiliation already set up.

Yes, I do. I am an alum and I moved to Baltimore for my clinical rotations. I still had to look for most of my own clinical placements but def easier. The professors were awesome but a lot of what I learned now as a practitioner is from clinical practice and residency. I am not sure how their mental health program compares to the previous program that I graduated from. May or may not see you this Fall. You can PM if you have anymore questions. Good luck!

Hi, For this Fall, I was told they would start the process in May or June but would not give an exact date, so it could be late May or late June. However, if you are not in Maryland the process can be difficult especially with obtaining affiliation agreements. I have secured my preceptors; however, the clinical placement team so far will not start the process earlier to ensure that the agreement could be made with the hospital that I would rotate in. The hospital is asking for more time to process this agreement. They are not working me with me, thus far. So potentially I could start the Fall semester and pay for everything and my affiliation agreement would not be in place in time. I would not have placement for the Spring semester. This is student specific but something to think about if you are not in Maryland and in a state where most hospitals will require affiliation with schools in the state which is what I am seeing. So you could theoretically do all the foot work like I have and beg the placement team to work with you but no guarantee. I literally had to jump through hoops to get the hospital to agree to starting the affiliation.

I wanted to add to this for anyone planning on starting in 2024. You will be required to find your own clinical placements. I am working with the clinical placement team currently and so far it has been a nightmare so much so that it may impact my decision to move forward with the program. If you are accepted into the program, no doubt you should be able to excel in the program. Placements will be the challenge. Consider that before making the financial investment, if you are paying out of pocket or taking out loans. Good luck.

Still waiting to hear back on an acceptance, I applied Jan 1st so I should know by March. But how much is it supposed to be for the full program? I calculated around 134k tuition alone ... I only saw extremely specific scholarships on the site like for Peace Corp members or Americorp members
-
Yes on one hand it feels like time if flying by and in regards to the app the decision can't come quick enough. Good luck to you!

Hey I really think it depends on the specific program you're applying to. I think it's about 88 to 90 credits total. The tuition is somewhere btw $1,450 to about $1,800 per credit ... I think.
-
Wow! That's pretty close to the June start time. I wonder if they offer any type of scholarships.

Hey guys! I created a topic not realizing that there was another one already for this. I also applied for the post-BSN DNP program. I got a message a few days ago that my app was under review. Has anyone else heard anything back? Or know when we will possibly find out.
