Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) 2019 DNAP

Published

Any other applicants out there? Does anyone know how many applications are submitted each year for the DNAP program? Good luck everyone!!

It's probably good to assume a rejection. I suspect these mailed letters will begin with "We regret to inform you..."

It is frustrating to wait over 6 weeks though to hear a verdict.

Hey there, trying to get in touch with anyone else attending at the Roanoke campus?

Anyone who was waitlisted, did you schedule a post interview follow up? If so, did you have any issues getting in contact with the individual you were suppose to speak with?

Do people really get off the waitlist? (anyone from previous cohorts know the answer)

Last year, I know of one person getting off the waitlist in December a few weeks before orientation, and another person getting off the waitlist within the first week of the semester starting. But honestly, it all depends on the situation and if they have anyone drop out, so I'm sure it's not a good predictor.

Hey out there! Which of you are from Abingdon? Have you started planning for your trip to Richmond yet? I was thinking of making reservations at L'opossum for dinner one night and am extending the invitation to the class. I thought it would be a great way to get to know our peers. If interested in being added to the reservation list feel free to email me at [email protected]

Hi,

Does anyone know if the program would accept a transfer student i.e. someone unfortunately had to drop out of the program?

Hi! I am thinking we will be moving sometime in May because my husband needs to find a job etc. Also, just an FYI, I created a FB group for everyone that got in to join, I pm'd your name. You may find quicker responses there! :)

Hi Jamie money,

Thanks for the quick response. Do you know what the Facebook group is named?

Hey, not sure if any of you still check this board, but I'm interviewing on May 2 for the VCU etpDNAP program that a lot of you are in. I was just curious if they do separate the interview dates by city. For example, is May 2 a Roanoke day? Did any of you apply with preference to one site and end up at another? Any advice on the exam that VCU notoriously has? Are they simple CCRN questions or did you feel they were pretty tough?

From my experience, there was a mix. Mine had predominantly Richmond folks with a mix of Roanoke and NOVA. There were other groups that were heavier on other sites. I applied with open preference so I cannot speak to that. I think keeping yourself open is helpful though. As far as the VCU exam, we can not tell you much, but it would be a good idea to study like you would for the CCRN. Identify your weak areas and work on those. Good luck! :)
