   clf1926 replied to blind_Optimist's topic in School Programs

   That's not true! During interviews they mentioned a high percentage of the alternates are offered spots in the program, and notice is often (but not always) provided fairly last minute. If the ABSN at SB is your dream, don't lose hope. I'm sorry you'...

   clf1926 replied to blind_Optimist's topic in School Programs

   OH yes @futurenursing4! I've been checking my application and solar account on a normal basis in hopes there will be some clue on status. I was in such a panic for the math and the writing sample that I have no idea. The topic and questions weren't d...

   clf1926 replied to blind_Optimist's topic in School Programs

   Yes, good luck to everyone tomorrow! From previous years' threads, there are 4-5 people in our group and they'll ask us 5-8 questions. The interview is about a full hour, and we have about 50 minutes to complete the math and writing portions, leaving...

   Thank you! This is exactly what I was hoping to better understand, and will keep in mind the schedule may have shifted slightly.

   @EileenC thanks so much for answering our questions, and congrats on getting through the program! Can you shed any light on your weekly schedule? You mentioned clinicals were 1 day per week throughout the summer, and then twice a week for the rest of...

   @futurenursing4 - The email came from Jan Kavazanjian who works with the admissions office at Stony Brook, I received it at 1:38pm on Friday (1/12), and it said "...you've been selected for an onsite interview." The waiting game is the worst, but don...

    clf1926 replied to blind_Optimist's topic in School Programs

    Thank you! I'll definitely share my experience following the interview. This is just the first wave that went out, and as others mentioned, it went out much earlier than previous years. Don't worry about not hearing back yet. I'd be surprised if they...

    clf1926 replied to clf1926's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the helpful responses! I'm in NY and having a hard time finding ANY job in any nearby hospitals; even receptionist jobs are competitive in hospitals around here. Working in a hospital for hands on experience would be ideal right now. I'll ...

    clf1926 replied to gopats1234's topic in Pre-Nursing

    It took me 5 months to complete the chemistry class. Here's what I had going on: 1. I worked full time and have a toddler; 2. I decided to take A&P 1 and 2 during the summer, so, I put chem on pause for about 11-12 weeks; 3. I wanted an A so I wa...

15. Prepping for nursing school

    clf1926 posted a topic in General Students

    Is there anything I can do to lighten the mental workload prior to attending nursing school? Would practicing NCLEX questions help (eg each question I come across would probably require me to research the question and all answers and I'd therefore fa...
