Hey all! I did not get in as well...took a few days for me to write on here...kind of disbelief. Last year SBU was my only application and did not get in (obviously). I honestly did think I had a decent chance of getting in this year, one reason was...

aaaaaarrrrrggggghhhhh!!!!! I knew mid Jan was wishful thinking, but end of February??? I will have to pay for and take all of these extra classes now and can not work full time as I was hoping to do to save up money...when I saw the message from th...

Hi Everyone! Happy New Year!!! Ok, stayed away as much as possible, now it is going to get difficult. I am praying we will get an answer by mid January, I have so much waiting, such as taking 3 classes that start 1/23 that I can drop if I get in to ...

Yes, the app deadline was supposed to be 11/15 for the accelerated PATH at Adelphi, but since I had to apply for the 2 year in order to take Pathophysiology, I am considered an internal applicant so I had a little extra time since I was just accepted...

I am actually just finishing up nutrition at suffolk- I couldn't find anything too similar either, but was told this would be accepted. It is called Nutrition- Concepts/Controversies for Health Sciences...it is 3 credits although theirs is listed as...

I think it is not too difficult for the 2 year program, just have to take the pre-reqs and have over 3.0 GPA cummulative. You can not get C+ or lower in any of the pre-reqs... For their accelerated program, the same as above, but you also have to se...

chele118- Wow, that is a tough unit I would imagine...I am volunteering at SBUH in infant hearing, so I am in newborn and NICU areas...I love being in the hospital! Good luck! Yes, it seems jobs are getting tougher to find in all areas of healthcare...

Congrats chele118, that is great! You will have some amazing experience when you start the nursing program! Which unit are you working in?

I have been trying to stay off the boards so I don't focus too much on it...I think I can get through the holidays without too much pain, but after that, I think the time will go by soooo slowly!!! I am finishing the app for accelerated program at Ad...

It was in October, just before the applications were due...you can go online to SBU website to look for future session dates. There was a lot of info, they answered questions after reviewing basic information. They stressed importance of science GPA...

hi laurmclaugh, at the info session i went to, they stressed that gpa in sciences was more important than the class itself. so, i would recommend taking something that you are interested in more, or know you can do well in. i had taken basic scienc...

Thanks, that is good to know, I am sure the success is all in the planning. I have 2 and we are settling in to our new area and school, so hopefully by next year all will be as smooth as it can possibly be with two kids.

Thanks Paco for all of the info! I am hoping to get Stony Brook, since I would love to work there after graduating...first I have to get in...one step at a time! I wanted to ask you also if you know anyone in the program who has kids? Just curious...

Wow Paco, I love the picture...I was wondering how your Sunday in NICU went? Also, I don't remember this question being addressed before- I wanted to understand how clinical location is chosen...I am assuming not everyone is at SBUH? What other loc...

Yes, it is expensive. I did apply to SBU last year, didn't get in and didn't have any back up school, so I decided to prepare for Adelphi as my back up for this year. I am planning to do the 1 year PATH program there if necessary. They do offer tr...

Hi Jennyfur, Welcome to the thread! I don't think they have a set criteria at Stony Brook, they seem to look at each student individually to see their background and then finalize based on a comparison between the 'best' applicants for the program. ...

Thanks Paco! I just checked and it lists my initial B.S. unofficial, but nothing else yet...I guess they are going from the top of the pile, since I just gave them the unofficial Monday, and all of the official a few weeks ago... Really appreciate t...

I felt the same way...I did not get real fulfillment...I am anxious to get started in nursing!

Thanks chele118! I did get the same message, I just would hate for a mix up of paperwork to cause my application to be rejected!! Getting ready for another long wait through the holidays! What industry were you in graphic design for? I was in fash...

Since I submitted my application only last week (but I handed in all of my transcripts a few weeks ago), I can not see my documents updated in Solar...so I dropped off a set of unofficial transcripts today just in case...I need to see that it is all ...

Hi!, Applying again this year for the ABSN, hoping the changes to my essay, letters and additional classes will help. Not looking forward to the long wait, but hopefully it will be a bit shorter than last year since the deadline is earlier. Best of ...

Hi Paco, Thanks so much for the encouragement and support. I wish you the best in school and your future career as a nurse- I know you will be fantastic!!! Will miss your daily messages of hope.

I just saw my answer- it's a no...was really hoping for the waitlist at least, but now I can plan what to do next. So sad. Best wishes to all of you!!

I am still waiting too....so sad to see more no's here...at least you all seem to have other options in the 2 year or other schools...trying to stay positive for us all!! As for the 1 year, it is hard to stay positive but I am happy that I have not r...

Maybe by Friday there will be a new round of updates...hoping for the best for us all!!!
