The Johns Hopkins School of Nursing (JHSON) has the No. 1 online nursing program in the nation according to U.S. News & World Report Best Online Program 2019 rankings. The school advanced from its previous No. 5 ranking marking a significant move in its leadership of online education. JHSON is also ranked No. 1 by U.S. News & World Report for its graduate nursing program and No. 2 for the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program.
“Our online education is accessible and flexible yet characterized by high-quality methods and rigorous academic work for students seeking to become nursing leaders. This recognition is a tremendous honor and it further validates our commitment to developing flexible, high-quality, online learning,” says Patricia Davidson, PhD, MEd, RN, FAAN, dean of JHSON.
In 2018, JHSON heavily invested in resources to specifically enhance the quality, diversity, and accessibility of its digital assets as it prepared to launch state-of-the-art learning formats for its DNP Advanced Practice Primary Care Nurse Practitioner tracks. Through an immersive, online curriculum, the format provides flexibility that is adept and strategically designed for the best education and outcomes. Specialty areas range from adult-gerontological to family and pediatrics.
Online options at the school include:
Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Primary Care Nurse Practitioner tracks
Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Clinical Nurse Specialist tracks
Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) Health Systems Management track
Through a weighted assessment, U.S. News & World Report determines its online education rankings by measuring student and faculty engagement, overall experience, faculty credentials, peer assessment of program quality, student success, and diversity of services and technologies used for teaching.
“High-quality online education will be a game changer for addressing the nursing shortage nationally and internationally, and we will continue to lead the way,” says Davidson.
