It's almost september, which means people are starting to get their applications for nursing together real soon. I'm currently in the 1-yr nursing program here at Stony Brook. A previous alum started the 2014 thread for us, so I figured I do the sa...

Scrolled through the many posts and CONGRATS TO THOSE WHO WERE ACCEPTED! for those who were rejected or waitlisted, as cliche as it sounds, dont give up and remember that everything happens for a reason. the reason for rejection may not always be bl...

They emailed me about my acceptance! Idk if anyone got a physical letter about it but I've heard that the previous classes did, but email is usually how they'll do it.

so when you choose clinical groups/rotations, there's SB24, where 24 students do all their rotations at stony brook hospital. then theres DEU/traditional, where students do their clinicals at other hospitals, such as south hampton, Pilgrim, Sagamore...

@beestar: there are several people in my class who just graduated from undergrad and went straight into this nursing program. then there are others who havent been in school for years. there's definitely a good mix of people with different amounts ...

hey yz9550, we have a thread for "Stony Brook Accelerated Class of 2015" that is more active. The users there are in similar shoes and have the same questions, so go on there and you wont regret it I believe you dont have to send the official tran...

stony has a regular 2-year program and the accelerated 1-yr program. you learn the same stuff essentially in both, but of course, with the 2-yr program, its spaced out so you have more time to work/study/have a life. i think they also do more clin...

@kris10marie: congrats on getting thru the interview process!! now the hard part is the waiting, which i would suggest finding something, like volunteering, seeing friends, travelling, picking up a hobby, watching tv, etc. to do to pass the time and ...

if you're really passionate about nursing and pursuing it, dont let grades, people, or whatever discourage you from going after it! the only limits there are are the ones you put on yourself, so go for it!! :) as for the interviews, look at it as a ...

Not sure what advice or input to give about the interviews....Don't be nervous! As hard as that may be to do, remember that everyone else in the room is feeling the same thing. Don't let your nerves get the best of you! do what you would normally do...

ive been hearing that SBU is doing interviews, which is something they just started doing for this year's entering class apparently. so unfortunately, we cant provide you guys with much help or input on that. but look at it as an opportunity to shi...

no benefit to submitting it early other than the fact that you get it out of the way earlier. i think i remember mailing in my official transcript to stonybrook last fall, but perhaps i remembered wrong or they changed the policy for this year. and...

@LAGD: dont count yourself out! there are definitely people in our class who dont have medical volunteer experience. i cant emphasize enough how diverse our class is! please dont deprive yourself of the chance/opportunity just because you dont have ...

its also important to remember that the best applicants ARENT always the ones who've had years and years of healthcare experience, such as being a nurse's aid or an EMT. our class is quite diverse in that people majored in different areas and have e...

If you think a supplemental page/resume would help, then attach it. You can also incorporate it into your essay of its relevant and appropriate. Try to havr your recommenders finish the recommendations asap so you can get that outta the way. Deadlin...

when is the deadline for the application this year?

Hey GoVeg !! I would definitely say to trim it down to 5 pages. Whatever you have to say can definitely be said in 3-5 pages, especially since they do have a lot of applicants to look at. For our current class of 77 students, they said they had l...

I unfortunately don't have a car, but two of my housemates do so I rely on them to travel to and from school for classes and clinicals. It depends on when and where your clinicals are, but during the summer, everyone had clinicals on fridays 7a-7p, ...

Hi guys! @bloodorange, thats so sweet haha. I hope both of you guys get in! Here are my thoughts and comments so far about the program, hope they help! - I'm really enjoying the program so far. Yes its a lot of work, but everyone in my class is e...

haha ahh i hear ya. i was born and raised in the city. the suburban life that is long island is soo weird for me. so unbelievably quiet here! i think i might have trouble falling asleep just 'cause im so used to falling asleep to cars passing by my...

thats great to hear! i think itll still snow out in LI though lol. and what?! whats there not to like about nyc?!?? haha, so much to do, see, eat in nyc. LI can be a bit boring in my opinion in comparison to nyc, but i could be biased since i was ...

I would call. You would get a much faster response that way

ahaha paco, i guess your post can just be used as another thing to solidify his decision. orientation is a little over a week away!

yeah, 87 or 90K in debt is not a pretty number to look at, especially considering the fact that it's for just one year and for just your bachelors. but yay for choosing stony! :) feel free to join our facebook group! all the information there wil...

Yes I am going to stony! The first day of orientation is actually in exactly 2 weeks and then school starts the week after. So nervous and excited and happy and anxious and all these other feelings lol. I got into binghamton's accelerated prog as w...
