Johns Hopkins and Columbia. 

Did you apply to JHU DNP-PMHNP program? I applied there as well!

Hi! I applied to the MSN entry program as I don’t have an RN yet. 

I only applied to Vandy, so hoping for the best!

My friend did that program and loved it. Now she's a neuro ICU nurse in DC. 

Specializes in pmhnp.

I applied before the priority deadline and am so impatient with waiting! Fingers crossed. I also applied to accelerated bachelors programs but this direct entry program would be so much faster for reaching my goal of PMHNP! The price worries me but I’ve heard it all is worth it in the end! What are other peoples’ take on that?

The price worries me as well, but I think it's worth it. I also saw some places you work at after do loan forgiveness so that's something to look into as well!

I got an email from an advisor saying my application was set for review!

When did you submit your application and when did you receive the email that your application was under review? Thanks! Good luck ?
