I am sure they did most of the selection process already. All the Professors look like a weight was lifted off them today, they were under the gun to get everything right for the accreditation review. Now they can get back to the all the tasks that were put on the back burner. I never liked being on that back burner myself, it is a bitter pill to swallow.
I feel bad for everyone that has to make other plans for now, and as someone joked, "I hope I have to lose my deposit to X University". Thats a great point! I can only speak for my experience to date at SBU SoN (almost halfway there!)but I have been very impressed. Having the hospital right there, and later access to some fantastic clinical professors, is an unbelievable resource. Even one of the reviewers from CCNE commented that she has seen few University schools of nursing where they are physically so close to a major hospital. There are many great programs around, but this sure is a good one, and a bit more economical than most.
I wish you all peace and tranquility as you wait, personally, I would be going nuts too! Good luck everyone.
Buckeroo out!
