Also on the alternate list

Would love to join but still waiting if I can get off the waitlist.

Still on the Interview Waitlist

My portal still says awaiting decision. Wasn't my best interview performance and I will use it as a learning experience for the future.

Interview invites should come out in three weeks.

The difference compared to last year is the 25 extra seats at the other campus. 25 at the main campus and 25 at the Montgomery location.

I also had the opportunity to interview in December but didn't receive a call. Focusing my attention on other programs I applied to. Based in NYC but open to relocating.

Also rejected with no interview. Applied late November.

Didn't apply here but had a similar experience where NursingCas only starts the verification process with the 1st application submitted and there was something I had to fix. Benefited from applying to schools that don't require LORs to get the verification problems fixed early before waiting on LORs for other programs where I submitted closer to the deadline.

Just got an interview invite. Dates for February.

Submitted today

Applied last week and now placed on hold today.

Congrats, I submitted my application last night. Hopefully it is not too late.

Just got an email that they extended the application deadline to 12/15. The application still active under the previous NursingCAS cycle. Last Casper 12/4.

For the summer, everyone in the ABP program had clinical at stony brook hospital, but for the fall, clinical sites are scattered across the island. Some of my classmates had clinical at the Nassau Queens border. There are also clinical sites at Riverhead, the eastern end of the island. There is an option to have your med surg rotations exclusively at SBU but other clinical rotations can be off-campus.

You will be in a clinical group with 7 other students. There are opportunities to carpool with people in your group.

Hey Everyone, Good luck with your applications! I’m currently in the accelerated one year program at SBU. I will share some of my experiences so far in the program. Please excuse my grammar and run-on sentences :). Summer course load and clinical Summer classes- Orientation was during the first week of June. During orientation, we received iPads. The iPad is free as long as you graduate and comes with a keyboard case. All students received monthly parking passes for $22/month at the HSC garage. Classes started in the second week of June. Over the summer, we had nursing fundamentals on Mondays (9-4), health assessment on Wednesdays (9-3), and fundamentals again on Fridays (9-11). We also had Role development class on some Friday afternoons and med math class on some Wednesday afternoons. Pathology is online, with lectures recorded. Tuesday was for bedlab, where you practice nursing skills on mannequins. The class was divided in half with one group coming in the morning and another in the afternoon. Taking into account classes and bed lab, this now only leaves Thursday, Saturday and Sunday left for summer clinical- for my class, all 80 students had fundamentals nursing clinical at stony brook hospital. For me, my summer clinical was every Thursday, starting the first week of classes. My other classmates had either summer clinical on Thursdays/some Saturdays, Thursdays/some Sundays, or Saturday/Sunday rotating. You will only have clinical once a week, for a total of 10 days in the summer. The clinical start at 7 am and end at 7 pm, but most groups were let out early. My group left at 4 pm each clinical day, we never actually stayed till 7 pm. I had seven other students on the floor with me during clinical. We were assigned a nurse to work with each week. Some nurses are eager to teach and let you do hands-on care; others will not teach as much and dislike having students. My advice is to smile and make the most of the situation. For clinical, we are required to wear stony brook branded scrubs and white pants/shoes. Please try to buy scrubs from former students to save money. A pair of SBU scrubs cost close to $80. Taking into account clinical, this will leave you with two free days per week (two out of three Thursday/Saturday/Sunday) in the program to relax, study, or work. Even though they recommend not working during the program, I was able to keep a shift at my job on one of the two free days I had. I know a couple of classmates who also held jobs over the summer. I also decided to stay at my parents in Queens and commute from there. In total, I dedicated around 12 hours a week driving+ 8 hours a week working during the summer. In the fall semester, I carpool with other students from queens to save costs. Tuition and educational supplies Tuition for the summer was around $6300, opting out of school health insurance. For fall and spring, I received nys tap and suny grants to cover some of the tuition. Fall tuition with financial aid was around $3000. The total program tuition for me will be around 13k. I primarily studied off of the PowerPoint slides. I had little time to read the textbook. Although you could get by without the textbook, you still need to buy the book because it is bundled with assignments that are graded. There is no way to buy just the questions. The assignment consisted of you answering nclex style question sets. You are also required to purchase a $418 testing package. At the end of the summer, you take a simulated board exam for fundamentals and health assessment. For the fall semester, we have pharmacology on Monday afternoons and lab simulation on some Mondays before pharmacology. Pediatrics and psychiatric nursing lectures on Wednesdays. Adult geriatrics and research on Fridays. We also have Pediatrics, psy, and adult gero clinical rotations. There will be a total of two clinical per week in the fall. Psychiatric rotations are the entire fall semester, either on Tuesday or Thursday. Psychiatric clinical sites can be from the Nassau queens border (LIJ Zucker), Ronkonkoma, SBU,Riverhead, Northport, etc. Adult gero and peds are half a semester. Adult gero on Tuesdays or Thursdays- either at SBU or Nassau hospitals. Pediatrics can be on either Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, or Sunday. Pediatric rotations are at SBU hospital but can also be located in Nassau queens border (long island Jewish cohen hospital), so be prepared to drive/carpool if you are travel from Suffolk. Be free to send more questions! Good Luck!
