University of Washington (UW) Fall 2019 DNP

Published

Hello! I noticed there hasn't been a thread created for applicants of the DNP program at UW for this coming fall and wanted to start one, so we all have some support as we're waiting for the results.

I applied to the AGAC track ? How about everyone else? If anyone else has any helpful information regarding the program or acceptance rate please share!

Anyone made a Facebook group yet, or am I too eager to see who will be in my cohort? ?

@mustlovedogs31, just to respond to a previous question you had, I will be working part-time. I have a few friends in the FNP track, and one told me it is totally possible to work full-time for the first year (though for her that only meant 3 shifts a week), and another is working part-time during her first year as well. The first year is all the DNP leadership and essays, etc!

@jaynakim34 good to know, that was my thinking given the syllabus. are you in the area? Sarah offered to meet in person and I wonder if it would be interesting to arrange for something like that with a group of us? I haven’t spoken to her yet though, so you may have already and have all your questions answered.

Hi all! I'll be in the cohort as well, Midwifery track (hi, @PNWMare!)

If a FB group is happening I'd love to be in it! I'm at UW right now (ABSN) so while I can't answer many DNP specific q's, I'm happy to try if people are wondering anything about the SON or area in general.

Can't wait to meet you all!

It wouldn't actually let me make the group until I had a second person to invite. =/

Specializes in Psychiatry.

Can anyone tell me how competitive the DNP program specialties are? I'm wanting psych and I like UW, but man when I look at their 7 page checklist of requirements to apply it seems overwhelming. At least 4 essays, video interviews, extremely detailed resume, an "implicit bias" study, statistics courses updated (mine expired a few years ago, so I would have to redo statistics) extremely specific recommendation letters, on and on.

This is the most strict and specific application I've seen looking across the country. I've only 1 year in psych RN practice and a 3.5 gpa + my life story. Should I bother? It'll take me weeks to do this UW app, but I'd rather not if it's a very low acceptance rate. Feel free to PM me if anyone has some further information or details to guide me, please.
