Any Stonybrook University MSN students?

They are strongly against completing the program in 2 yrs. I am assume because of all of the required clinical hours. I dont even think that they allow you to go full time.

Thank you so much for all the information! I really appreciate it, I am not sure I could handle finishing it all in 2 years anyway! Good luck in your studies, hope all is going well

I live in the bronx, how is the FNP program at stony brook. is it far??travel?? how much of the program was distant learning???

The whole program is distance learning, except for a 1 week orientation in the beginning.

not bad!! I think that will work great for me... ! I was checking out the website and they said that they will be suspending admission in nursing students in the FNP program because of NYstate budget cuts!! how awful, I wonder long it will be suspended!
I am really interested in the FNP program and not anything else. what have you heard about that situation??

I am currently in their RN-BSN distance learning. I was planning on doing the FNP program also...As soon as it was announced one of the professors told me that it was due to the budget crisis and at this point they have no plans to restart the program. If and when the budget improves they may decide to reevaluate.....So sad, now I am just finishing up my BSN, and it looks like I have to apply to another school now....I was really upset at first but now I have finally come to terms with it, haha...well sort of

hey how are you doing so far, with the FNP program at Stony book? how many clinical hours was it?
where do you want to work after you graduate??? how was the clinicals...were they patient with you??

what school are you interested in going? for you FNP?? I thought of College of Mount St vincents....
i'm going part time... i can't do it full time!
I notice that there is 600 clinical hours.. omg.. is that per semester or is that, for the whole nursing course..

so did you ever got back into stony brook? you shouldn't have to start over!! they should just let you finished where you left off...
How was the program?
good luck...

Kimaboogie,
Thanks for your info. re: the SUNY Stoney Brook MSN NP On-Line Program; I noticed on another thread that there is danger of failing a SUNY SB clinical if the student cannot locate her own clinical---is it that hard to find a clinical in NYCity? Do they allow you to travel out to Stony Brook Hospital---it's a 2-hr drive from NYCity, but at least it would facilitate graduation if the school permits you to do clinicals at its very own hospital???? Thanks again.
