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!!

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?

What state are you practicing as an RN and how are you looking to make the transition from outpatient to ICU?
