I am posting this thread so everyone can share their thoughts and feelings about the current Fall 2023 admission cycle for VCU's FNP program! Also, feel free to post if you applied to the psych or acute geri programs as well. I wanted to post my stats and get a gauge of everyone else's while we wait for December 15th!!
I have 3 degrees: A BS in Biology, an ADN in Nursing, and an RN-BSN in Nursing!
Overall cumulative GPA of 3.25 and an overall nursing GPA of 3.65. I am a bit concerned with my overall but would like to note that my initial bachelor's degree was obtained in 2014.
I made sure to edit, re-edit, and edit some more my personal statements, and I made sure that my 3 reference choices were solid.
I have 3+ years at the bedside with most of my experience in acute inpatient care specializing in orthopedic surgery/trauma.
Look forward to hearing back from everyone, and fingers crossed!
Hi! I'm a current FNP-DNP student at VCU preparing to enter my second semester. I've enjoyed the program so far and found the professors to be responsive and engaging.
Did you apply for the MSN or DNP?
Good luck!
Hi. Can I DM you? I'm interested in learning more about the school, professors, locations, clinical, etc

Sure thing!
I'll say the lead faculty for the PMHNP program is awesome! She has come to do psych lectures for us FNP/AGACNP students, which were great. I don't know as much about clinical sites for the PMHNP, except the school does placements.
Feel free to reach out though and I'll share what I can. I really enjoy the school and program.
