  • Testimonials

    "An incredible learning experience in a safe environment. I felt more confident in my practice at the bedside after completing the Advanced Practice Boot Camp at Johns Hopkins.”

    “Excellent workshop geared towards the NP level of practice. There is no educational substitution for simulation and this program does a phenomenal job of throwing you right in with a very passionate staff to support you out of you comfort zone.”

    “As an experienced NP coming from a combined PICU/CICU unit I learned an amazing amount of information about physiology, codes, and about myself and my practice. Would recommend to novice and experienced NPs!”

    “This is a great educational/ simulation conference geared towards pediatric NP’s that puts you in real life scenarios and helps you train at the top level for your job. It is also a great way to network and meet other NPs.”
