Thanks for the info! :)

How did your orientation go? :) Did you get your schedule? Did you have to register for classes or did they assign them to you? I've heard different things from different sources. I'm so nervous!

Congrats! I'm somewhat of a lurker on this site but figured I'd say hi since I'll also be attending Suffolk (day program, Grant campus). Hi! :) Orientation is June 23rd, correct?

Can anyone tell me about the pre-reqs to apply for the nursing program at Suffolk? For whatever reason, I can't access the site. I keep getting an error message. I have a BA in psych if that makes a difference. I'm going crazy trying to figure out what courses I need to complete before applying. Gah! Thanks in advance for any info.

Hi everyone! I'm new here and I was wondering if anyone had any advice to offer.:) My husband and I live on Long Island with our four kids (ages 7 to almost 1). I'm currently a SAHM, and have come to the conclusion that in order for us to stay here, I'm going to need to go back to work eventually. I think that nursing may be the right path for me. I have a BA in psychology and am interested in becoming an RN so I would obviously need to go back to school. It's just so overwhelming, all of the programs out there. Anybody care to share how they went about this? Especially somebody with little ones. Did you go full time? Part time? Do an accelerated program? I see that Stony Brook offers a 12 month program but I can't seem to find any others in the area. Any advice/words of encouragement would be appreciated. I really want to do this. I think it's going to be in the best interest of our family in the future, but it's also going to be quite challenging getting there as my husband works so many hours/week and we're on a budget. The daycare/money situation is stressing me out!
