“Future students should know it's a really hard program, but it's worth it. The DNP program changed my expectation about what I want out of nursing and my career.'

— Andrea Matsumoto, U-M School of Nursing post-baccalaureate DNP program student

Supporting materials

• Experiences
• Achievements

Supporting materials helpful hints:

• Expand upon details in your resume or add information that is not included in your resume.
• Examples of things to include are awards and scholarships, Daisy awards and community service activities.

Program materials section

Personal statement

• Provide an answer to the following question: What are your professional and academic goals as they relate to the Post-baccalaureate DNP program? (700 words maximum). The answer should state your reason for pursuing the program. It is most effective when you have researched the program and can communicate an understanding of the scope of practice. You should elaborate on how the Post-baccalaureate DNP best fits your professional and academic goals.

Personal statement helpful hints:

• Personal statements are most efficient when they include details regarding in-depth knowledge of your program of interest, as well as clear goals for your career.
• Personal statements are a perfect place to relay information to the admission team that we do not have from other parts of your application.
• Incorporating information about how it is you chose to become a nurse can be effective.
• If there is something in your academics or resume that should be addressed, feel free to use the personal statement to touch on this as well.

References

• We require three recommendations from individuals who can comment on your potential success as a graduate student and as an advanced practice nurse in the area for which you are applying. It is recommended that references have a master's level nursing degree or higher.
• Identifying your references and initiating the recommendation request is part of the NursingCAS application. If a recommender needs assistance please direct them to NursingCAS for help.
• Hard copy or electronic versions of recommendations sent directly to the U-M School of Nursing will not be accepted.

References helpful hints:

• We strongly recommend that at least two references be from master’s or doctoral prepared nurses, because these people can speak to an applicant’s preparedness and potential success in a rigorous graduate nursing program. If you are unable to find two recommenders who meet this criteria, do not let this stop you from applying.
• It is encouraged that applicants send their evaluation requests early in the application process to make sure recommenders have adequate time to complete the request.
• Be sure to update your recommender on your goals in applying to graduate school so that he or she can speak eloquently about your skill sets.

Resume

• The U-M School of Nursing requires the submission of a one page (maximum two pages) resume with your NursingCAS application.
• We do not require specific work experience prior to applying for a program.
• Your resume should be well written, formatted appropriately and easy to read.
• Highlight important educational and professional experiences, including volunteering, professional associations, leadership, research and job shadowing.

Resume helpful hints:

• Resumes should be current and no longer than two pages.
• Applicants should keep information relevant to nursing-specific experiences and leadership activities.
• For individuals with limited to no work experience as an RN, it is recommended that applicants job shadow, volunteer and/or complete additional experiences to understand the role of an advanced practice nurse.
• Involvement in extracurricular leadership activities are a good item to have on your resume. Examples include involvement in Student Nurses Associations or student groups while in school or participating in unit committees while working.
• Global experiences are a good item to acknowledge.

We recommend taking the first steps on your application at least five-six weeks before the application deadline. All application materials must be received by NursingCAS by the deadline in order to be considered for admission.
