Fall 2013 RN to BS SUNY Downstate Application

[bonek77]

Hello all,

I have couple questions in mind.

I started the application early August and completed the application on early September 2012, it was marked "sent to committee"

I am on my third clinical semester ADN program. I anticipated to graduate in Spring '13. Planning to apply and take the NCLEX as soon as I graduate. I have finished all the Downstate pre-requisite courses. I haven't heard anything back from the admission committee.

Here are the questions:

1. Are there any of you guys out there applying to Downstate as well?

2. Is there anyone who got accepted while they're still in the process of finishing up the Nursing-ADN school and working toward their RN license? FYI, the school does confirm that they can accept qualify applicants who are still in the process of completing the education needed toward RN-licensure with the condition that the accepted applicants should completed the RN-license requirement by specific date.

3. How long or when do they usually reply? FYI, they are encouraging for early application process.

Any input is highly appreciated.

Hi I got accepted to suny downstate for bsn. i did not take the Nclex exam yet. will it be a issue without it? how are the classes? are they difficult?

Hi Fabulous123, as long as you'll have your RN license by September, you'll be fine. If you don't have it by then, I think they will force you to withdraw from the classes. Classes are manageable. They were not difficult if compared to the "real nursing classes" back at my old ADN's classes :). You'll be able to get a good grade if you invest time in moderate studying for the exams and completing all the assignments. Hope all the above help. Good luck.
