Not sure, although ppl from past cohorts said sometime in the afternoon.

who else is nervous for tomorrow?!

hello! good luck on your interview Monday! :) It seems that its most important to get experience as a RN before jumping into a DNP program. Even 1-2 years would be good. UIC's program is new (the first cohort was Fall 2014). This program is 2.5 years they said. Another concerning aspect is that this programs rewards you with an MS. While most other programs is the Masters in Nursing. I heard that its harder to get jobs and isn't always liked. I'm not really into the whole MS thing especially if i'll have problems later on getting a good job or getting into DNP programs at schools other than UIC. I would really need to talk to some faculty at UIC about this because it concerns me.

has anyone heard back?! Karen told me the start of march!

congrats MME20! that's great news :) mine was also post marked the day after the interview. I wonder why yours was over skype! are you from the area? either way, congrats again. I didn't get a friend request so let me know if you couldn't find me or ill try adding you :)

Can anyone currently in the program talk more about it?

same here! lets talk through fb if you guys have it? its easier I think. add me: https://www.facebook.com/sonam.patel.313

hey guys! i got in too!

She responded: Thank you for your email. Unfortunately I don't have many details for you. I can tell you that the department has your application for review and that no decision has been made one way or the other at this time. They should be issuing decisions within the next couple of weeks, but the timeline is really up to Nursing. As soon as we have a decision on your application, we'll notify you via email and/or written mail. Best wishes, Lizzie

Hi guys! So it wasn't too bad. We didn't do any group exercises. The people interviewing us asked one questions and we all had to answer it. Personally, I don't like group interviews because I don't think they get to know the person as well. In my opinion, they didn't ask the typical kinds of questions. They wanted to see how passionate you are about nursing and what excites you about the field. As well as just keeping up with the current healthcare system. I think they do change up the questions from interview to interview to keep it fair but I don't know that for a fact. Hopefully it goes well for all of us :)

you guys...I think im going to email and ask them!! ill let you know what they say lol

Hi guys, Can someone whose currently in the program tell me if a car is needed to have if you're going to be living near campus. Thanks.

I think I got my checkmarq account right after I submitted my application

it seems like I'm the only summer one

Hello! So I downloaded it and the sound worked. Hopefully it works for everyone by just downloading it first. Aww! Everyone seems really nice, I agree. And if we're going to be future nursing students together, we're going to need to help each other out :) I hope you all get in! I had my UIC interview today and it went well. There were 4 of us total. Nothing they asked really threw me off guard. Every student had to answer every question. So it was pretty fair. Time just flew by!

glad it went well! what term did you guys apply for? we should know on march 6th by email.

hahaha HopeJoy, I know! I would but i just don't want to annoy them when they're probably trying to get all of the admissions and everything together!

definitely djmartin999! add me on fb! https://www.facebook.com/sonam.patel.313

LP! Although, I am still waiting on other schools.
