Anyone currently enrolled in or graduated from Chatham or NOVA's DNP program? Have any insight on either program? I know the part-time program at Chatham is 18 months and Nova's is 27 months but I want to know if an 18 month program is feasible with full-time work and 3 kids with lots of commitments.
RN-4Ever, DNP 480 Posts Oct 6, 2017 I applied to Chatham to start this spring. I should hear something soon. I have reached out to current students on FB and I have heard nothing but good things. I heard it is a great program and very doable working full time. I too have 3 Kids and work full time.I also applied to Chamberlain as a back up. After speaking with Chamberlain, I was leaning towards their program until I talked with current DNP students at Chatham. It sounds like a great program.

RN-4Ever, DNP 480 Posts Oct 21, 2017 Best of luck! They accept students by the 15th of every month until November 1st. November 1st is the deadline for Spring. I hope you get in. I'm so excited. Inbox me as soon as you find out! Are you going to be full time or part time?

Dec 17, 2017 I just applied for later admission; I have a five-month-old and I am super busy, but I finally picked Chatham from my list of programs! Chamberlain is also a backup because I teach there and would get a tuition discount, but that takes a year to kick in. I am looking forward to hearing how you like it at Chatham!

It looks like I would have to take the one class twice in order to apply for the DNP. Also like Capellas EdD.

Dec 26, 2017 Yeah, I would have to take their NUR 697 once because I have 317.5 hours between my two MSNs. If I am accepted for Fall 2018, I would take that course in the summer semester first.
