VCU CRNA DNAP 2021

Published

It's insanely early to think about this, but here's a thread for anyone applying for the VCU DNAP cohort set to begin January 2021, the application window is open! Are you studying for your GRE yet? ?

Specializes in Critical Care/ICU.

I'm wondering if the questions are gonna be applicant-specific vs. predetermined. I also really wish we were interviewing with a person, even if it's gonna be digital. I'd have a better feel for what to expect if that were the case.

Hey guys, I wish I could answer your questions but this is all new. I would imagine that it would not be a panel interview with the social distancing guidelines. My interview didn't include many, if any (I honestly can't remember) clinical based questions, but this could change if the critical care test isn't being administered. From my experience, the staff want students who want to be a CRNA for the right reasons. If there are any flaws on your application, be honest with them and explain the situation. Overall, it was a pretty laid back interview. Most of the anxiety I accrued was self induced and just part of the process. Best of luck to all! I have no regrets choosing to attend VCU!

Me too - I have more anxiety thinking there won't be any other people there actually interviewing - I tend to ramble when I'm talking to myself! LOL

Hey friends! I’ve been keeping an eye on this thread and I figured I’d go ahead and make an account so I could join in on the fun! Good luck to everyone with your interviews this week! We’re all nervous, but just remember we’re all in the same boat. I’m just really thankful the VCU staff has figured out a way to keep this ball rolling given the circumstances. Hope to meet y’all someday!

Good luck everybody! I can’t get myself to click on the link- I’m scared to find out what’s gonna be asked in the interview. Is it gonna be based on your application or same questions for everybody? Clinical or personal questions? Who knows ?k

Good luck ladies and gents! I am nervous as all get out. I don’t know if it’s more the recorded interview or just in general the thought of rejection. Although with the recorded interview you can’t even see what the vibe is from the interviewers...LOL. I guess we will see soon enough.
