School of nursing.
The goal of the PhD program at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing is to prepare the leaders in nursing science development. Graduates will be prepared for careers as nurse scholars to conduct research that advances the discipline of nursing, health, and health care quality. The school offers an individualized program in selected areas of research congruent with student’s area of interest and the expertise of the research faculty. A key feature of the program is an intensive mentored research experience with an active investigator who has an established program of funded research. In addition to the diverse research interests of the School of Nursing faculty, students have access to the entire Johns Hopkins University, which fosters interdisciplinary and international research projects.
Quality is the defining characteristic of academic life at Johns Hopkins and the School of Nursing. Each student completes a core curriculum and works closely with a faculty advisor to complete an individualized course of study that fulfills the student’s goals and develops the basis for a program of research. The length of the program is expected to be the equivalent of four to five years of full-time study. Students must complete the program within 7 years. The Doctor of Philosophy of Nursing (DNP) to Doctor of Philosophy Nursing (PhD) pathway* can be done in less than 4 years.
This program is a full time PhD program for those who have already completed a DNP Program. Now advance your DNP project’s research from clinical implementation to scientific discovery with a PhD in Nursing from Johns Hopkins and get credit for the work you’ve already done. You may carry over 9 elective credit hours from your DNP program to the PhD program. This reduces the elective credit load to 10 instead of 19 elective credits for the PhD program. With this decreased course load the degree program can potentially be completed in 3 years based on growth from prior DNP work, but that is not a requirement of the program. Please follow the overview, requirements, sample program and learning outcomes as written for the PhD program for all aspects of the DNP to PhD pathway.
Qualified students interested in the PhD program may be eligible to receive tuition, JHU health insurance and stipend support through the School of Nursing. Complete information is available by contacting the PhD Program Administrator at [email protected]
Please Note: In the following Curriculum and Plans of Study, School of Public Health courses (PH.XXX.XXX) are offered on the quarter system and are depicted here as [credits & units] and count accordingly in each school. The course directory for the Public Health courses (PH) is available at SPH Course Directory
PhD students register for all fall and spring semesters from matriculation to degree completion. The only exceptions are students on an approved leave of absence.
Students will register for the summer semester if they:
Students who successfully defended their dissertation within the spring semester, but who will graduate in the summer semester, are not required to register (with the exception of F1 Visa Students).
If a student is not registered for other summer coursework, registering for 1 credit of Dissertation Research is typically sufficient for the summer semester for those students planning their dissertation defense in the summer semester.
Students should work with their faculty mentor, PhD Program Director, and the Registrar’s Office to determine their appropriate student status given their activities during the semester. All students should register prior to the first day of classes in all terms.
The research residency is an important pedagogical aspect of the PhD program regardless of funding source or student status, full or part time. Students should commit to a research residency each semester – including summer - across the entire period of baseline funding from the JHSON. The purpose of the research residency requirement for the PhD program is to provide full time students with research training. The goal of the research residency is for the student to have experiences in aspects of research that will facilitate embarking on a career of research and scholarship. Given that publication is a vital outcome of any PhD program, the research residency mechanism is an ideal one from which to publish. It is important to point out that not all research training experiences will be the same.
Every PhD Student will serve as Teaching Assistant (TA) for at least one course without compensation prior to graduation. The required TA experience will be up to 10 hours per week. After completing their required TA residency, students may choose to serve as a TA for additional courses for compensation.
The purpose of the TA experience is to advance the student’s socialization into the teaching role of the faculty member. Program Directors will determine the availability and approval of courses to count toward the TA experience. Specific learning objectives for the required TA experience will be developed by the student with input from the student’s PhD advisor and the mentoring course coordinator. Learning activities may include but are not limited to:
Students should be able to articulate how their teaching and learning philosophy is grounded in their philosophy of the human person. Other areas of critical inquiry and reflection may include theories of learning; duties of teachers and students; virtues of teachers and students; and the objective of the education of nurses at all three levels.
Students considering The Nurse Educator Certificate Option (NECO) should discuss with their advisor whether to apply one of their teaching residencies to the teaching practicum ( NR.110.543 Teaching Practicum ) which is optional within the NECO.
Evaluation: Upon completion of each assigned course, the graduate TA and the faculty of the graduate TA are expected to submit their evaluations to the Academic Program Administrator. Completed evaluations will be discussed at the PhD Curriculum Committee to monitor the quality of TA experiences and also will be shared with relevant Program Directors to be considered for future TA assignments. TAs and the respective faculty member should be encouraged to include metrics in their course evaluations to assess the effectiveness of the TA.
PhD students are required to achieve various milestones (see below) in progressing through the program that culminate in the dissertation. These processes serve to assure quality of the scholarship and rigor of the scientific process. Progress/milestones completed will be reviewed in year 3 to approve additional funding of tuition and stipend in year 4.
Please see the new Johns Hopkins University Mentoring Expectations and the new Johns Hopkins University Policy on Mentoring Commitments for PhD Students and Faculty from the Provost's Office.
Challenges in study implementation should be reviewed, and the committee should offer support to help the student overcome the challenge or refine the study as appropriate

$75 US. The fee is non-refundable, and can be paid by credit card as part of the online application.
When exactly is the application deadline?
The deadline falls at midnight, U.S. Pacific time, on the deadline date of the each program. Nursing PhD program application deadline is January 1.
May I request a fee waiver?
Yes. Application fee waivers are processed through Laney. The application fee waiver page explains our waiver policy. https://www.gs.emory.edu/admissions/fee-waivers.html
Should I wait until I have my official test scores before submitting my application?
No. Complete the online application at your earliest convenience. When we receive your scores, they will be matched with your application.
Do I need to submit non-degree transcripts?
Yes. Admissions committees consider your complete academic record.
If my undergraduate Degree is from Emory, Do I need to request a transcript from Emory?
Yes. You will need to upload one as part of your online application. (If you are offered admission and accept, you will not need to submit an official copy, since we are able to verify the one you uploaded.)
If I participated in an exchange program while an undergraduate, do I have to request that transcript?
If you took some courses at a university as part of an exchange, like a study abroad program, and those course credits (course name, credit hours, and grade) are reflected on the transcript that includes your degree, then you do not need to submit a separate transcript from the university where you studied as part of an exchange. If you list that exchange experience as a separate educational experience on your application, you will need to upload either a separate transcript or a note explaining to us that the credits are included in another transcript.
How should I submit my transcripts in the application?
Scan and upload them through the online application. Unofficial transcripts issued by the Registrar to you (the student) are acceptable.
You are required to submit one transcript from each post-secondary institution attended, present school included. International transcripts must be translated and notarized.
Please do not mail paper transcripts. If you are admitted and decide to attend Emory, then you will need to submit official copies of your transcripts before you can enroll. But for your application, the scanned, unofficial versions are all that's needed.
Does the recommendation letter have to be on the Emory form?
We encourage the use of the online recommendation system. If a recommender is unable to use this system, contact the program you are applying to for instructions. You can find contact information on our Degree Programs page .
Must letters of recommendation be submitted by the application deadline?
It is possible to submit letters of recommendation after the application deadline, but it is not advisable. Most programs begin to review applications very soon after the deadline, and an application is not considered complete unless it has three letters of recommendation.
Can I make changes to my application after I have submitted it?
No. Contact the graduate program to which you are applying for advice. You can find contact information on our Degree Programs page .
Can I reactivate my application from last year?
No. Applicants who wish to reapply must submit a new application, application fee, and supporting credentials.
Technical issues with the application: Email CollegeNet at [email protected] .

PhD Student Handbook
Graduate Nursing Student Complaint and Grievance Procedures
Graduate nursing education requires students to have dedicated time to devote to studying, completing assignments, preparing for, and completing clinicals and other course work. Students are encouraged to consider their work schedules and commitments considering the demands of the PhD program and adjust accordingly. Commitments which compete with graduate study may result in suboptimal academic performance and place the student in academic jeopardy.
In general, for every-one graduate nursing semester credit hour of enrollment a student should allocate 5 hours of study time outside of class. For example, a 3 semester credit hours course, may reasonably require 15 hours of work, outside of class, plus anytime needed to complete clinicals.
Students are encouraged to evaluate their energy level, familial and personal obligations, and school commitments before starting their degree program.
As a PhD student , you are expected to work at an academic, scholarly, and ethical level that is becoming of a member of the academic community. You must provide the initiative and determination needed to see your course of study and research agenda through to its successful conclusion, utilizing the resources that are available to you. You must identify and work towards your goals, provide feedback to and communicate with the people who are partnering with you as you work towards your PhD.
Some key characteristics of all successful PhD students irrespective of their areas of study are: effective utilization of time, actively searching the literature, regular writing habits, looking at research problems as new opportunities, and developing solutions to problems and discussing these solutions with the advisor. Success is within your grasp if you put in the effort to achieve.

Students should review the academic calendar prior to enrolling and prepare accordingly.
Our dedicated faculty make every effort to assist students in meeting their academic goals across a wide variety of subject areas.
UTA CONHI is unique among many comparable universities for the remarkable amount of resources dedicated to student success. Learn more about our offerings on help with courses and writing/speaking.
Our PhD education is predicated on a strong mentoring relationship between the student and faculty throughout the curriculum. Your work at UTA will be guided by a research advisor and a supervisory committee. The Research Advisor, a faculty member in the College of Nursing and Health Innovation, provides guidance to the student, helping them navigate through the process of coursework, comps, and the dissertation, which includes the student's research agenda. As the student's committee chair, the Research Advisor is selected early in the PhD student's course of study, and will help the student recruit the rest of her or his committee. This partnership is key to a student's success in the PhD program.
The Research Advisor is generally drawn from the College's active research faculty; a list can be viewed by clicking or tapping here . A comprehensive list describing current research by faculty member is available here.
The student's committee provides additional oversight to the student's scholarly and research agenda, and it is the committee as a whole that passes a student through coursework to comprehensive examination (comps), from comps to candidacy, from dissertation proposal to dissertation, and finally reviews the student's dissertation. The Research Advisor assists students in filling out their committee from members of the faculty at the University. Sometimes, faculty outside of the University may be selected to bring additional content expertise to a student's committee.
Some students may need additional support in areas such as work-life-school balance, navigating difficult situations, emotional support, or needing advice from someone who is not as involved in the student's day-to-day work as a PhD student. This faculty member is a resource to assist in these areas. As a "coach," this person can provide informed, outside perspective to a student, while respecting the student's relationship to their Research Advisor.
The Doctoral Coach role is the conceptual successor to the PhD Mentoring program established by Drs. Bond and Baxley, and draws on the expertise gained through that program.

The Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing provides competitive base funding packages for full-time PhD students from years 1-4 of their program of study. All PhD students who are eligible to receive this package will be in the “funded cohort” for 4 years.
In 2023-2024, the annual base funding package is $18,250 plus tuition and fees (varies depending on legal status). Overall, the minimum value of the base funding package, including tuitions and fees is $26,463 for domestic students and $27,219 for international students. While this represents the base support provided, students have opportunities to secure additional funding through scholarships and awards.
Total | |||
---|---|---|---|
– PhD | $18, 250 | $8, 213.96 | $26,463.96 |
– PhD | $18, 250 | $8, 969.96 | $27,219.96 |
The base funding package typically consists of a combination of internal awards and fellowships, teaching assistantships (including Clinical Instructor roles), and a supervisor’s research grant/funds. Students in the funded cohort will receive a funding letter at the start of the academic year which outlines the specific components of their funding package as well as payment details.
To maintain eligibility for base funding, students are expected to pursue their studies full-time, must maintain good academic standing, and must make satisfactory progress toward degree completion.
Full-time registered students should not be employed on a full-time basis in addition to their studies, unless approved by the PhD program director or the Dean of the Faculty of Nursing, as well as the student’s supervisor.
Teaching assistant positions, learn more about becoming a teaching assistant.
Doctoral students are hired as TAs for undergraduate and graduate courses. Teaching assistant (TA) positions are considered both a source of funding and a form of professional training. Students holding TA positions can have a range of responsibilities, depending on their TA assignment. Responsibilities may include grading, supporting simulation lab activities, and leading in-person tutorials. TA’s may also have the opportunity to serve as course instructors, guest lecturers, and clinical instructors (in a hospital or community setting).
Base funding packages include 140 hours of TA work per academic year over the fall, winter and/or spring sessions. The hourly wage for TAs was $47.64 in 2023. It was increased by 9% to $51.93 effective January 2024, it will be further increased to $52.97 effective January 2025, and to $53.92 in 2026.
PhD students are guaranteed six subsequent appointments, one each year for the same number of hours as their first or second appointment (whichever is greater). The department assigns students to their subsequent appointments in May/June for the following academic year.
PhD students who decline positions they are offered are considered to have forfeited this funding for the academic year and will have their total funding reduced accordingly. Students may apply for TA positions in addition to the hours assigned for their base package, however additional appointments are not guaranteed. Positions may be posted throughout the year and are circulated to students as they become available.
PhD students may have access to additional sources of funding from a supervisor’s research grants in the form of research assistantships.
PhD students are encouraged to seek external funding to enhance their CV and increase their income. Funding sources include external competitive awards such as CIHR, SSHRC, CNA, RNAO, OGS, and awards from independent foundations as well as Hospital/Research Institute Awards. Our students have been highly successful in obtaining these competitive and prestigious awards.
View External Scholarships
Different components of the funding package are paid via different methods according to varying schedules. Payment details are outlined in the annual funding letter sent to PhD students.
Students must be registered and maintain a current mailing address in ACORN for award payments to be issued. Students are encouraged to also record their banking information in ACORN for direct deposit – otherwise cheques will be issued by mail or for pick-up.
Students must also provide their hiring unit with signed contracts/payroll forms/banking information for TA payroll to be set up.
Students without major scholarships normally receive U of T Fellowship (UTF) Tuition Awards which are paid directly to their fees in two equal instalments at the start of the fall (September) and winter (January) sessions.
Students without major scholarships (and some with major scholarships that do not cover the full base package) receive UTF Stipend Awards which are paid through Acorn in equal instalments at the start of each session. E.g. a $x,xxxx UTF Stipend award is paid in $x,xxx instalments at the start of the fall (September), winter (January) and summer (May) sessions.
Teaching assistant salary is paid in equal instalments monthly for the duration of the position through the HRIS/payroll system on the 28th of the month (or the preceding Friday if the 28th falls on a weekend). E.g. a student who has a 100 hour TA position from September – December will be paid for 25 hours at the end of September, October, November, and December. Students will receive a contract for each position they are assigned and can access payroll statement using the Employee Self-Service (ESS).
Most external scholarships are paid through ACORN by the School of Graduate Studies (SGS), in equal instalments at the start of each session. OGS, SSHRC, CIHR E.g. a $15,000 OGS award is paid in $5,000 instalments at the start of September, January and May. September payments are issued directly to the student; January and May instalments are usually directed toward outstanding tuition and fees. See the SGS Managing Your Award page for further details.
The School of Graduate Studies (SGS) and the University of Toronto Graduate Students’ Union (UTGSU) have collaborated to create a Funding Complaint Process for graduate students who want to bring forward complaints about the interpretation, implementation or compliance with University, faculty and / or graduate unit policy regarding their individual funding package. This complaint process applies to all graduate students in the funded cohort in the School of Graduate Studies (SGS).
PhD students are also guaranteed TA positions in years 5 and 6 at the same number of hours as their 1st or 2nd appointment (subsequent appointments).
Students can also apply for internal awards and scholarships through the department and SGS (information on such opportunities will forwarded to students as they are announced throughout the year).
PhD students who do not hold major scholarships are eligible to receive the Doctoral Completion Award (DCA) in years 5 and 6. These awards are competitive in nature and the availability and value of the DCS varies each year.
Funding for travel and conference attendance and some research expenses is also available through the Faculty and from SGS. This funding varies depending on the number of applications and the pool of funds available each year. In some cases, a supervisor may also be able to provide funding for such expenses.
