I am in the bsn program now it is 27 months.

Ok so I just started the program this fall and so far I love it. So you apply and if your the select few you get called for the interview. Not to discourage you in anyway but according NOVA last year that had around 700 people applications and they only selected 150 for the interview. Dont worry if your GPA isnt amazing I think that your essay is EXTREMELY important. So if you get called for the interview your chances are really good in being accepted. Next the interview are just basic questions: why do you want to be a nurse, strengths and weakness', and some situational questions. Then it took about a month and a half for me to get the acceptance letter. I believe that the essay and interview are the most important parts of your application. I had friends with higher gpas than I did and they did not get accepted into NOVA. Good Luck!

Btw to make this clear when I said that Baptist covers tuition and fees... I called Nova and they told me that the fees and tuition are together so they are both paid for. Just wanted to clear that up.

yes the baptist scholars program does pay for the whole tution and fees...except for health insurance, books, uniforms, and supplies. You also have to sign a 3 year sign on contract to work for them.

Yay!!! I Spoke To Vlad The Assistant And He Said Orientation Is September 2nd.

I GOT IT!!! I was checking my registration status and notice I was already signed up for classes and I called the lady and she said I'm in! Go check.

Same here I called in a week like they told me to and they said to call in another week that they were still conducting interviews grrrrrrr!!!!

So my interview went great! I'm feeling good! :chuckle I even made them laugh with a little joke. Now I wait they told me to call next week grrr I wish they would just tell us already. Kalima09 was that you that was I met at the interview at 2 pm?

So I got a call on wednesday from the Baptist Scholars Program and I have my interview on Thursday @ 1:30 anyone else been called?

I had heard that we had to wear business casual clothes but I was hoping to start wearing the scrubs. Woohoo so comfy! I work at an office and I'm pretty sick of wearing business clothes everyday! lol :D:D

Bumblebeern...I've read on several forums that you are familiar with Nova's program do you know what we will be having to wear? I know druing lab we have to wear lab coats but what about during lecture and everything else?

Anyone that has been accepted just curious about everyones background such as: 1.Age. 2.Previous school. 3.GPA. 4.Where you're from. 5.Applying for the Baptist scholarship? 6.Anything else you want to add.

I spoke to Vlad Lafontant and he told me to expect to receive a phone call from Baptist this week to schedule an interview for the Baptist Scholars Program. We should know if we receive the scholarship by the end of the month, approximately July 22nd.

Yes I just sent in my application on Wed. for the scholarship...it would be amazing if I get it since: 1. I'm not rich and wanting to spend 40K. 2. I live in Kendall so driving to Ft. Lauderdale is not that cool. The good news is that when I went to the interview they told me that last year they didnt fill up all the scholarship spots.. so thats good news for me.

I just got accepted to Nova for the Fall of 2008, and have heard only good things about it. I started at FIU with all the prereqs, in reality the prereqs are about the same across alot of nursing schools minus one or two classes. I followed the FIU prerequisites and a sociology class that I needed and I got in. I am so excited to start in the fall and I believe you have a really good chance of getting in. Now ALL nursing schools are competitive and not a cake walk to get in but it is possible. But you they are do-able so good luck with whatevr school you choose!
