If you don't mind me asking, how many people did they interview? I had no idea they did rolling so now I have to finish my application quick😅

How would you say it went?
 

If you don't mind sharing, would you say it was more clinical or more emotional intelligence? 

 

Thanks 

They have 20 spots open and have received over 400 applications thus far!

So have people already been accepted or not yet? I'm confused as to whether the 20 is the cohort size or the amount of seats left. I may not even submit my app at this point if there are already 400😂😂

Anyone have any information? How many interviewers? Was it online? Was the interview EI or more clinical like questions?

There was an info session via Zoom for Nova for the DNP-A program. I confirmed it's 20 seats TOTAL for their first DNP-A entering class. And it will be that way until that first class graduates and there are board exam scores available. 
 

They've received over 500 applications for those 20 spots. They have started interviewing but no one has officially been accepted yet.
 

 

Specializes in MICU.

Does anyone know if we need a recent chem lab to apply? I have a recent organic chem but without a lab component. 

Specializes in ICU/CL.

When does this program start? This January in 2026 or Winter as in December 2026?

And it will be a panel interview. Via zoom. With a combination of EI and clinical questions.
