Sorry, I am just now seeing these posts! Thank you all for answering me! I completed my first semester back home (majoring in biology) with a 3.4! Slowly moving my gpa up! I don't think I was very clear in my original post. I am still pursuing my bachelors degree and once I am done in a year I will be applying to the accelerated program. I am so happy that I am finally back on track and I know I can do this. Thank you for all of your answers, I greatly appreciate them :)

Hello! My name is Lauryn! I am currently enrolled in SUNY Old Westbury. I am majoring in biological sciences. I should be graduating Fall 13'. I understand applications are due in the Fall, so I am figuring out if I am able to graduate earlier or I may just have to wait until the Fall of 2014. As of right now, my GPA is very poor, about a 2.3, or so. I plan on raising it since I am home now and have no distractions. I was curious who I should contact from Stonybrook about transferring credits, as I do not think they will accept the anatomy and physiology that my school offers. I was also curious how difficult the 12 month accelerated BSN program is. Roughly what is the ratio of applicants to accepted students? I was also curious how difficult the program is. I have all the motivation in the world right now and I want to make sure I do everything right. I plan on volunteering at my local hospital once school begins. Also, who do you recommend I get recommendations from? Professors? Bosses? I have an aunt who is a nurse and an uncle who is a cardiologist, so I think I may get a recommendation from one of them. Unless this is a bad idea, as they are family! Thanks so much. I know I didn't ask many questions, I just like to be reassured that I am going through this the right way. Thanks again!!

Hi guys! I am currently in school getting my B.S. in health and society and minoring in spanish. I have about two and a half years left. I am extremely interested in stonybrook's accelerated BSN program. What science did you guys choose as your "other science". What were your GPAs as well, if you don't mind me asking. I have always wanted to be a nurse, but my mom kind of forced me into getting my B.S. instead of pursuing nursing. Any help about this program would be fantastic! Thanks so much in advance!

Please help!

So I am just beginning the process of working towards my ASN. I literally have like only 20 credits. But anyways, I was just wondering what the curriculum was like when you guys were just starting out. What classes did you have to take before you were eligible to apply for the nursing program (besides BIO 130, BIO 132, PSY 101, ENG 101)? Any info you guys could give me on the process of working towards the program/ actually being in the program/ you're plans for after you graduate (like would you get your BSN?) that would be great! Thanks so much!
