Hi! I got accepted to the Stony Brook's 2 year program starting Fall 2009. I am excited to start. I was wondering if any one knew what type of schedule it is? I have seen the accelerated program schedule, is it similar? Also, any advice about the p...

I started my pre-reqs when i was 24 and started nursing school when i was 25.

I am currently a student and that would never have happened in our program. Our instructor did meds one on one with each of us and we had to make sure to check and recheck. That is unbelievable.

All supporting documents are used for both applications - so you only need to do one set of references, essay and transcripts. All you have to do is submit the two applications - I believe the appln deadline for the 2 year is Jan 10. Good Luck apply...

I absolutely love this thread:) Never have your pacemaker recharged under consious sedation and go home the same day and then drink heavily for the next three days and wonder why you end up back at the ER due to severe dehydration.

I did not take intro to nursing - I took statistics and the group theory course. You really should try to apply to both programs - I really wanted the one year when I applied and I am so happy that I am now in the two year - the way in which they r...

It is a long waiting game - I didnt get my acceptance letter until mid-march:) But it was worth the wait.

I applied to both programs last year. I am currently in the 2 year program which I absolutely love. But from what I hear both programs are awesome. Last year when I applied to both I heard from the 1 year around mid january and then the 2 year in ...

Hi I am currently in the two year program nursing at stony brook. I applied to both the one year and the two year program and I know what you guys are going through it is a nail biting experience - but it is so worth it - when you get in. I am havi...

I have heard that both programs are very tough. I feel ready for it. My job is very understanding of me being in school. It is a give and take relationship - so we will see. I am so ready to start!!!!! Tomorrow is the day!

Kamyrn2007 - thanks so much for the times - very helpful - I am hoping I get clinicals on thursday - I work on the weekends - and I dont want to give it up. So we will see - Orientation is only one day away!!!! I want to know what books we need. ...

You are lucky, because when I called they would never tell me. Did they tell you times for classes Did they say when clinicals would be? I am very excited to start as well.

Congrats on your acceptance. There hasnt been any prior orientation, everyone goes on thursday. I am excited to start. Stony brook has not really given much information. I want to know the schedule and what books we need. Only 2 more days!!!!

I think it depends on the school you want to go to. Some look at the overall person and other schools just look at the grades. But either way you should go for it.

I start in the fall and I am not sure what my overall expenses are going to be. I am going to try to work part-time during school. The 2 year program is a BSN. I am going for my BSN because I would like to go back to school in the future for my ma...

International editions I have found are harder to sell. You are better off going with a US edition.

I buy textbooks online and I have had no issues with it. I usually buy them on amazon or textbooks.com. It is definately cheaper than the bookstores at the schools which charge way too much. When buying books on amazon, if they are used I look to ...

Hi all, Congrats to all who got into the accelerated program - that is so awesome. I am still biting my nails for the 2 year program. Keeping my fingers crossed. I wanted to know if anyone knew of any other programs like stony brook on li or in th...

I found out today. I didn't get into the accelerated program:( But I still have a chance at the 2 year:) So we will see. So I just have to wait a little bit longer!!

I havent heard anything either from stony brook. I called today and they said they were still sending out decisions. So I am not sure what to think. I just want to know!!!

It is totally killing me. I just want to know. Although I am glad to hear that they are still making decisions. I submitted everything on the 21st of October. So well will see, I am keeping my fingers crossed :)

I have also applied to both the accelerated and 2 year programs. I still haven't heard anything back yet. But I will keep you updated when I do. I am so nervous.
