UW DNP program

Published

Hello to anyone out there applying to UW DNP or currently in the program. I am applying to fall2015. I am wondering about ability to work and attend the program. Also are there any of you with children/family?, working? and able to keep up the load? How many students does the program accept. What is your track? I am interested in FNP track and very anxious about making into the program. I know it's quiet competitive. Please respond if you have any insight and would like to share your experience. Thank you.

That's ok , I was kinda expecting it. I am a current senior BSN student at the UW, so I had high hopes that I would get into the program at the get go. I have lots of global health experience and a public health degree, just not any experience working on the RN side of things. Hopefully it was for the best :) trying to keep my chin up.

Eric, I'm terribly sorry. I hope you receive better news in the future. Are you in Seattle? I live near Seattle but haven't heard anything yet. Maybe tomorrow.

I don't know if acceptance has much to do with RN experience. I'm also in the same boat and am currently a senior BSN student. A friend of mine was accepted into the DNP program last year and had 0 RN experience. She was also a senior BSN student at the time of application.

Best of luck to everyone and fingers crossed!

I live in Wallingford, right next to the university district, so it's really close to the UW. I also have a friend who got into the DNP for psych immediately after her BSN, but that program didn't have as many applicants by far as the fnp. I think 3 or 4 people from my class applied to the fnp, one for the anp, and nobody else applied.

Hey guys! I am also waiting to hear. I applied for the midwifery track. I am in a second degree BSN program with very little relevant experience, so I'm nervous. Hoping a letter with good news comes this week!

Do you know how many people applied for the FNP track this year? I know last year was about 70-80 and they accepted around 20-25.

I was in the cohort right before you Eric! We had 1 student get into the fnp from my class but she was waitlisted first. I wonder if it was just an exceptionally competitive year.

I'm definitely stalking this page to see when people get letters. I've checked it like 10 times today. I might have a problem.

Looks like I'll be joining some of you this fall! I got in! For those that don't get in, don't give up! Call the office and schedule an appt. with an advisor. They will tell you what areas to work on for a stronger application and they only offer this for grad applicants!
