NP Admission: Who to ask for letters of rec?

[BiscuitStripes, BSN, RN]

I'm applying to a few AGACNP programs and am trying to figure out my references. The websites don't give a lot of information on who should write them. 

• Unfortunately, I don't have any NPs that I know well enough that could write me one.
• I've been out of school for a couple years now and don't keep in touch with any of my BSN faculty. 
• I was going to have one from an MD, who is the medical director for the ICU I work in.
• I also had a really good working relationship with our ICU pharmacist, I'm not sure if he would be a good person to use? 
• My other thought would be my nurse manager, but she doesn't really know anything about my educational goals. 
• Any suggestions on who to ask, or thoughts on any of the above would be appreciated. 

Program 1 - "Professional colleagues (professors, supervisors, etc.) that can comment on the applicant's desire to enroll in a DNP program." 

Program 2 - "Provide three letters of recommendation." 

Program 3 - "Three letters of academic or professional reference, including faculty, professional colleagues, or supervisors who can evaluate your potential for success in a graduate program."
