Hey guys, Started my application for Downstate's WHNP for Fall 2023 start. Thought I'd start this thread for all interested and/or applying. I'm in between excitement and anxiety! ? All questions welcome! Any past/current students with advice/op...

Hey! Sorry your interview was not welcoming. You can definitely work and have a life while doing this program. It is online and the first two semesters were once a week. After that additional days for clinicals. I think directors have to say tha...

Hi! I think we are all both excited and anxious too. There are a few groups created. Are you able to message me?

Oh good. Yea, I'm trying to draft my work schedule and taking two days off that week is a lot. But if more people are coming I would like to come, greet and meet.

Hey guys! 👋🏽 Good Morning! Just received the email from admissions about orientation on the 28th. It is recommended but not required to come in-person as the event will be recorded and emailed to us later that day. I wanted to see if anyone was...

Morning all! Hope your all enjoying the Summer ☀️ Just wanted to let you all know to check your emails as Downstate just sent an email for Mandatory Admitted Student Day event, via Zoom, being held on Monday, July 17th, 2023 from 12:00 pm- 2:00 ...

Hey!! Oh good, glad to hear it. I just finished all the health requirements. And yes, time is flying. First day will be here soon. I think we have an online orientation coming soon too. I thought first semester was on Thursday but you have me second ...

Hey!! First of all, congratulations!! I just tried logging and clicking through my pre-matric page and I didn't get that message. Maybe try again in a while or try using a different browser. I hope it resolves.

Hey! So after my application status changed to faculty screener assigned, there were no other changes. Even now after being accepted, my application is the same and there are no green checks on my checklist. I did see the online application dead...

Hey! Your online application status should update once assigned a faculty screener. I later recieved an email for interview with the director of the program to pick a date that I am available. After that, I recieved another email a few days lat...

Hey! The deadline has changed a few times. I think them transitioning it into a BS-DNP only has affected the amount of applications they are getting. They are probably allowing more time so more people can apply.

Hey! I applied end of August. My application status updated to "Faculty Screener Assigned" in early January. I received an email on 2/6 for invite to interview on 2/14. Hope this helps and good luck! 😊

Hey! First of all, congrats on nursing school and good luck on your NCLEX next year! As for you question, I'm not sure about everyone else but I feel it's hard to answer as everyone learns and takes stress differently. Personally, I feel like it...

Yay! Congratulations!! So happy for you! Oh great! Congrats to you! 😊

Your welcome!! Of course, no problem!

Hey Guys! @JazminRN hope your interview went well!! I think it's the other way around 7 semesters for full time and 10 semesters for part time. I also believe during a information session it was said they have a 13 semester part time option howe...

Thank you @JazminRN!! And that's great for you as well! The interview was very laid back and casual. I'm not sure if all the interviews are with the same person, so I can't say for sure how it will go. I would say just be yourself. It was very inform...

Hey guys!! So I had my interview last week and I got my acceptance email!! So excited! Im a little late in posting as I've been trying to figure out tuition, scheduling, kids, etc. Good luck to everyone who has applied. Wishing you all the best!...

I officially submitted my application and all supporting documents 8/25/22. I checked my application online today and it still isn't showing any green checkmarks on my Admission checklist so I'm not sure if that's a good indicator 🤷🏽‍♀️. I hope you h...

Hi! Sorry it's been so hard finding info. Yes, I believe there will no longer be an MS option for women's health...only for education. There was an email sent to applicants stating that due to Downstate's committement to transition all entry-lev...

They only sent me the option of 2/14 and 2/16 sometime between 12 and 3. The interviews are 30 minutes long. Good luck to you!🤞🏽

Hey! I literally just got an email for invite to interview for the program. Have to pick a date and time. Fingers crossed you all get an email soon!

Nothing from admissions yet for me. I saw they extended the deadline from end of February to early April 😳 I wonder if that means not a lot of people applied. Either way I hope that doesn't prolong decisions for us.

Yes! I know. Me too! Did a informational session and thought (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME) said they would start reviewing soon. I think that was in October 🙃
