   dfgo replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York

   Six people didn't show up to orientation last year. We spent the first hour or two introducing ourselves, and the Professors marked who wasn't there. Once they had the list, someone immediately left the room to call alternates. So keep your chin up!

   Last year, I called around and was told the deposit was due by April 1. I don't believe there's a hard and fast deadline, though.

   You should call the school of nursing directly to ask, but generally they do not accept any transfer courses. Congrats to everyone who got in! For those who have yet to hear, good luck!

   It's nowhere near that expensive. I'm out of state. Tuition is about $26,000 from start to finish, including health insurance. If you already have a degree, as you will if you are applying to the one year, you get limited government loans. Independe...

   1) The teachers are definitely loads more helpful when you get here. I remember before I started it was impossible to get information from anyone! But I think they may be using all the resources to help the students who are already in the program, so...

   We had a 10 day vacation at the end of the summer session, and a three week vacation at the end of fall, followed by three weeks where we had classes only twice a week. From now until mid-April we're in school full time, four to five days a week, and...

10. Stony Brook U ABSN - Summer 2010 Applicants

    The student health form is separate from the nursing health form. For the student form the physical isn't required, just immunization records. If you call student health the nurses there are very friendly and helpful--they'll tell you what to do.

    dfgo replied to FL4763's topic in New York

    From what I gather we're booked six days a week, something like 9-5 class schedule four or five days a week with an 8 to 12 hour clinical day. I'm not 100% sure on that, though. If you've already got a commute of an hour and a half, it might be kinda...
