I was recently accepted into a MSN program and am finding the task of securing a preceptor very daunting! I did not think it would be so hard, but I have not been able to find anyone with availability for the Fall 2014 semester! I was hoping that som...

Hi- This is my first post here, I found you guys on google and you all seemed really nice and informative. I am in a bit of a predicament, this is a long post I'm sorry but I need some expertise advice. I applied to Stony Brook for the Accelerated Pr...

It sucks going in blindly!!!! But you will all have an amazing experience, the professors are SO wonderful!

I'm currently in the program if anyone has any questions. The schedule is about right just take out Ethical Frameworks which is no longer required and replace it with "Health Policy" 1 cr in Spring. The poster was right, don't panic before you know...

It doesn't matter - if you reapply a second time and are not qualified they are not going to let you in, I know a few people who applied twice and still weren't accepted. The first time my application wasn't even looked at because of a technicality ...

You should definitely not give up, yes Stony Brook is an extremely competitive program but the good thing about Stony Brook is that they do not look at grades alone - they look at a mix of GPA, reference letters,essay, pre-requisite grades, volunteer...

I didn't have much volunteer experience at all - I am sure it puts you at a great advantage if you have volunteer experience in the health care setting because it shows that you know what the nursing field is about. However, volunteering is way diff...

I got my acceptance letter I believe in Mid December, it was definitely before Christmas, however I know there are some people who got their letters after Christmas. You definitely have a chance of getting in. Stony Brook doesn't look solely at GPA...

I'm also currently in the SB nursing program, 1 year class :) Good luck everyone! My only advice is to make sure that you apply to more than one nursing program, apply for the two year program too! I was denied my first time around, so don't give ...

It does not matter. As long as you are a well rounded student. They look at essay, GPA, pre-reqs, and recommendations. I'm currently a student at Stony Brook and we have people who were English Majors to people who have master's in biology :)

I was accepted into a VERY competitive accelerated nursing program with a B+ in A&P 2, B in A&P1 and a B in Microbio and a C+ in Chemistry and A's in my two other science requirements. I put my ALL into every one of my classes, my school was...

You know I called the health center and they told me that I couldn't have my titers done there because I was not a student yet. Who knows!! If you look on solar system it says the classes are from June 29th to August 20th - I don't know if that is ...

It was in the admission's packet, it has red on the side. If you can't find it let me know and I'll let you know what's on there. It's basically that you need malpractice insurance 1mil/3mil need to show positive titers for a few things need some ext...

I was not immune to the bumps either! But they gave me the MMR right away not just the mumps part. Luckily I got it done in March and just had my blood redrawn now - it was such a pain in the butt b/c I don't have insurance and the blood work is so e...

Did you guys see the post on the first page? "Summer Semester: Fundamentals of Nsg. - 10 credits Health Assessment - 4 Credits Perspectives in Nursing - 1 Credit Nutrition - 1 credit Medmath - 2 credits (I think) TOTAL - 18 credits PS. The do not pan...

Suny Stony Brook and Suny Downstate offer the accelerated program w/o the msn portion.

The curriculum for A&P 1 really depends on your professor. We had to know all the foramen and fossas. As far as knowing anterior, lateral and superior, the main thing is knowing what they mean for example they will ask things like "True or Fals...

Yes, SBU, Suffolk was a back up plan just incase I wasn't accepted into Stony Brook. I already have a BS degree, so with the one year Accelerated Program, I will finish with a second bachelor's degree in nursing :)

Yes I am in the accelerated program for this year :) Thanks! All the programs in NY are so competitive, it's just funny how a person can be a qualified applicant to one and not the other! Good example of not putting your eggs into one basket!! :)

Congrats! I applied to Suffolk Community as a back up incase I was not accepted into Stony Brook Accelerated Nursing Program, funny thing is I was accepted into Stony Brook's one year bachelor's program and rejected from Suffolk!! Congratulations!! ...

I received my letter too! I feel more at ease knowing what classes I will be taking but wish there were days and times

that is a generalization, the only difference is that people in the accelerated program already have their electives done and have proved through background information that they are able to put forth effort that is needed to take on a program at a f...

what is your email address? I will send you her number and email :)

Even though Stony Brook has it's own hospital, not all clinicals are in that hospital. My GPA was 3.6 for the accelerated BSN program, and I had no hospital experience, but great recs and a great essay :) Good luck!
