No!! Regardless of what I wrote, stay positive! I didn’t think I’d get accepted.

Hi! This program is really competitive. I think they have 500 applicants and they accept 60 students. (This statistic could be wrong). I didn’t think I was going to be accepted as I didn’t feel confident after the interview but I was offered a seat and we start Tuesday! (Scared to death) I’ve never worked in a hospital so it wasn’t my experience. I’ve been a nurse for 8 years. I got my undergrad in 2016 and graduated with a 3.6 GPA. ??‍♀️ Sorry if I wasn’t any help! Good luck with your application process! Keep us posted on your progress!

nursing is such a diverse field. It is so different than anything I learned in school. I think you should finish then go on for a master’s degree. You can always get your master’s in something related to the health field. At this point, switching to a completely different bachelor’s degree would be expensive. If you go on for your master’s, you’ll get loans again.

I got an email today to confirm my attendance for orientation on April 18th. Anyone else get this?

I didn’t set mine up yet.

That was it. I would send it yourself with a return receipt. Did you get the email as to how to set up the SB student email?

I requested my official transcripts and had them sent to my house. I then placed them (unopened of course) in an envelope and mailed them to SB with a return signature. So, I just got the card back that someone there received them. I’ve been trying to call them to make sure but I always get a voice mail. Orientation is 18 days away! I also got an email today about my student email and how to set it up.

Hi! I was accepted in the summer term at Stony Brook for FNP. It is mostly online work and they place you loacally where you live for the clinical part. I think we have to be on campus once a month. It’s competative as far as acceptance but I know it’s a good program. My friend is going to Penn State for her FNP right now, she lives near Hershey, PA. Good luck!

I haven’t. I’m thinking that we’ll find out everything we need to know during orientation. I wish I knew more about the schedule, tuition, start dat, etc....

I think that you have to create one somehow. Maybe click forgot password?

I just sent a FB request to the group! Great idea!

I went to like 4000 different colleges, do they need official transcripts from every single one? Lol

It is in there as “Distance Learner” check and make sure that’s what you are in as.

It’s probably standard NYS and more for on-campus living. I’m not getting it; I’ll go on and decline it. Also, do you remember the schedule for our program? They passed the sheet around in our interview but I don’t remember the details. Is there a spot in SOLAR that gives the class schedule breakdown? I just went in and it said that I’ve been granted a temporary exemption from completeing health requirements because of my enrollment status. Maybe being an online learner? Check your enrollment status, you should be exempt

Check your emails! I just received the official acceptance! Yahoo! Now, s%#^ just got real! ?

I think it’s not such a bad idea to bounce around a bit as a nurse. I earned my associates in nursing in 2011 and then my BSN in 2016. In that short time, I’ve worked in a small OR, flu clinic, dialysis, opthomology and now I’m a radiology nurse (for the past 4 years) in that time, I realized that I would be better in a practitioner role; I am starting a FNP program this summer. So, my advice? Maybe bounce around a bit and figure out what your passion is! If you don’t already have your BSN, I suggest getting it. Good luck!

Just spoke with student services from the nursing department. The email is pretty much an unofficial acceptance. It’s not official so don’t make any life changing decisions but you can have a glass of wine. Oh boy! ??

I’m still confused as to what exactly the email we got was ; it is congratulating us not saying that we’re officially accepted. I guess I’ll go on the basis that it’s a “likely letter” and that I’ve been accepted. ??‍♀️

So, did they tell you what this letter was? Is it an unofficial acceptance letter or a likely letter?

Don’t you need a student ID to access SOLAR? Where did you get yours? Is there another way to sign into SOLAR?

I don’t have a student ID. I have no idea where I’d get that from. I called yesterday for clerification and left a message. I didn’t get a call back. The letter also said “spring 2019” in the body, I think it was a typo.

This is killing me! Did anyone else get this tentative acceptance email? I got mine on Valentine's Day, too. So, after googling the heck out of what it may be, I came to the conclusion that it’s a “likely letter” ??? If you google that, it pretty much says it’s an acceptance and we’ll find out in 2 weeks. Also, my letter was dated 1/30/2019 and not sent out until February 14th.
