I cant speak to all schools or states of course. But I work closely with the faculty at my school, and here in NY, the state is regulating what can and cannot replace our clinical hours. Right now they are proposing we replace clinical with vSims, which of course is ... less than ideal. We also have forms that have to be filled out before we sit for our NCLEX that are filled out by the school certifying that we graduated and had a certain number of clinical hours. I believe all of that is state regulated, so not entirely sure where you might find it, but I know the standards are there.

In downstate NY. All clinical has been cancelled. All class has been moved online. Don’t know what we’re gonna do. No plan in place.

@utsava, yes, you must respond within 10 days I believe! But that may be within 10 days of viewing the acceptance on SOLAR? I'm not sure. I really, really encourage you guys to call Admissions if you haven't received an email, they might be able to help and they're very kind/patient! Also, has anyone got any info about when orientation is?

I checked SOLAR, I'm already a student at Stony Brook. If you do not have an account on SOLAR, I would suggest maybe calling up Admissions and asking them to help you figure out how you can view your acceptance status! They've been able to tell me my SOLAR ID before if I've forgotten the number for it. Therefore, if you have one, they'll be able to tell you. Also, I know there's a FB group up, but I don't have/want a Facebook lol. However I'd love to get to know you guys! Would anyone be opposed to starting a GroupMe chat as well when we meet each other for orientation? It's what the Health Science major tends to use to communicate with each other and you don't have to sign up for anything. :)

I got in!!!!!! It will be so exciting to see you all in the fall!!! Congratulations to all - and even if you did not get into Stony Brook, please remember that Long Island is rife with amazing nursing programs that will prepare you just as well. We are lucky to live in a place that has several amazing options for this kind of career... don't give up hope. You will excel no matter what.

Eh im not super surprised though, they did tell us it would take this long and previous years did not hear back until 2nd week of April, so I think this is pretty typical unfortunately.

Still waiting. I'm holding out until the end of next week. Then ill probably give them a call.

Nah, a lot of people have received their acceptance letters so far. Dunno about denials.

I live closer to Grant and requested Grant Day but got Ammerman Day instead. Go figure.

I'm not sure. Its definitely a possibility, but all I know is that these potential methods of contact from the office - I do not know if one indicates something over the other.

Yeah, thats what I meant. Like they got the email/letter/notification. A friend of mine (i know several people in the prog right now) was called on the phone. So i think the primary way is an acceptance letter via email.

From what I'm seeing it looks like the last two years of SBU threads went the same way as ths one. People got told all sorts of stuff but ended up getting letters from April 12th to the 14th. I think at this stage I am going to just wait until then. If it still is not here then I will call again. It even looks like last year they were told similar stuff too - high number of applicants, short staffed this year, etc...

Wait, you got something from Stony Brook since your interview? Or you mean you got invited to interview? I'm currently waiting on Stony Brook to follow up post-interview lol

Hey yall, I'm still holding out for another school but I ended up caving and made my deposit. I was wondering, have any of you received the notice we're supposed to get for our orientation date so that we may begin registering for classes? Also @BrokenFood, I don't think we're able to do anything with registration until we attend the required orientation. I usually need about 3-4 weeks in advance to get off from work, so I'm hoping it gets sent soon...

I went the second day and also was told late march, worst case first week of April... But the problem stemmed from my conversation with them yesterday, when a member of the admissions office stated it would be the end of april, potentially the last week. I repeated her to make sure i heard right because I was told a completely different time (late march) by my interviewers, but she said again end of April. Thats why I'm confused.

You called again and that's what they said? Itd be awfully nice if they could agree on when its being sent out so I don't have a heart attack every time I talk to them...

Hey guys, so i just got off the phone with admissions and explained that I have acceptances that need a response ASAP but nothing from stony yet... They said they are not sending out letters until the LAST week of April. I really don't know what to do. I have acceptance from another school but Stony is my top choice since I'm already a student here... I dont have the money to waste on a tuition deposit for a school I might not go to just because I'm waiting on Stony Brook.

What I wrote was direct from the staff and interviewers of the program.

Yeah, so, the interviews are still occurring but the invitations to be interviewed have been over for a few weeks. Basically they accept 60-70 of 180 interviewees, and if any of the accepted students decide not to do the program, then they offer it to any of the already interviewed students who were runners up, or waitlisted. Then if no one on the interview waitlist accepts THEN they may call other interviews. But it is very unlikely that all 30-something waitlisted people will say no. I'm sorry, but hopefully that clears it up.

Hey everyone, keep your eye on your mailbox!!! I just got accepted into Ammermans daytime program!!!!

Hey there, have you already had your interview? As for acceptance and such, we probably arent going to hear back for another 3 to 4 weeks. If you havent interviewed at this stage or heard about one then I'm not sure if you will hear back for this round of the program as you must interview to be considered and the interview periods over as far as I heard. sorry.

I'm not sure if they are with the actual interviews but I do know they have all been scheduled already. We should be hearing back now in about 4-5 weeks, but if past threads are any indicator, it may be earlier than the original time frame they gave us at the interview.

I'm doing my interview today at 1PM, is anyone else going to be there at that time? Good luck to everyone else who still has to do their interview!!

Yep! It was like 2 or 3 emails at once, one from the department coordinator and two from fullslate which they use to schedule the interviews.

Hey, I just got my interview invite as well! it appears they should be rolling out within the day, so everyone keep an eye out!!!
