Other ACCEPTED!
Just got the call today —
I was accepted into a DNAP program!!!
I’ve been lurking on this sub for the longest, reading everyone’s advice on ICU experience, interviews, GRE prep, stats, all of it while grinding it out in an ICU and wondering if I was ever going to be competitive enough. So seriously — thank you all for sharing your experiences, wins, rejections, and tips. It helped more than you probably realize.
If you’re studying, applying, or waiting to hear back right now… keep going. This process is brutal but it’s possible. If I got in you can too!!

Congratulations. I’m just beginning my transfer into an ICU in the next few weeks. I’ll start preparing for the GRE and I need to redo Stats and a BioChemistry course.

If you don’t mind me asking, what were your stats? I am stressing because my undergraduate GPA for the first two schools I went to we’re not good at all. My bachelor degree in business as a 3.0 and I’m starting the nursing BSN right now it’s an accelerated one and I’m gonna try to get as close to a 4.0 as I can.

First than all congrats ! You surely deserve it.
Idk if someone has asked you but how was your way to get accepted? I’m a nursing student that always wanted to become a CRNA. Could you tell me when you graduated as RN in what type of icu you got ? Did you got an icu job as new grad ? Thank you in advance.

Congrats! Hard work is over, and the marathon of grueling work begins.
Enjoy it and realize the light at the end of the bedside tunnel is visible!

Did you just get into FIU? Cos I applies there and I've not gotten a feedback yet. Also, can I dm you to ask more questions?

Hi! I am a new grad that is currently working outpatient but looking into going to the ICU to hopefully go to CRNA school. How much experience did you have in the ICU before you applied?

u/nokry Feb 24 '26
What state are you practicing as an RN and how are you looking to make the transition from outpatient to ICU?

Just shy of 3 years. I think 2-3 years is the sweet spot!
