Hey Everyone! I figured I should start a new thread for the upcoming round of decisions. How are you all feeling? What are your backgrounds? Have you applied to other schools? My application is in the review progress, so my fingers are crossed and ho...

Hey all - My girlfriend and I are both nurses (her: peds-onc, me: ER) and we moved from Brooklyn, NY to San Francisco because she was able to get a sweet first travel assignment. I was told by the handful of recruiters we were working with, that it ...

ED nursing in NYC is not for the faint of heart. I started in my ED right out of nursing school and I had up to 20 patients! My hospital got better though and our ratios are much more manageable, but still can get up to 10-12. I know travelers who ha...

@jasonka - check with the admissions office. They can let you know what classes/tests will count.

hi all! yes, the messages were in my "other" inbox so it took me a minute to realize. i messaged you all back with the page link :)

Congrats to @Vincent_ and @miyajg!!! Make sure you join the SUNY Downstate Accelerated BSN: 2014-2015 Class group on Facebook too! Message me if you can't find it :)

@annapt yes, I got it a week after the e-mail was sent. Check in with the admissions office about it though...

@brooklyn2012 has been really generous in giving info on being a current student. Look at earlier posts :)

awesome @khasmom! i have mine as well! lots of info about what we need to take care of before we start the program :)

Hey Folks who are waiting for their acceptance package: After some investigating with UPS and chatting with someone from admissions, I found that all of the acceptance packages were returned to Downstate due to labeling errors (transfer paper didn't ...

FYI to the folks waiting for their acceptance package - I just heard that they had a delay in sending them and that they went out yesterday with overnight delivery via UPS. Should be getting them today!

PM me and I'll add you!

I think the Facebook link was removed for Terms of Service purposes, so if you want to join the Facebook group, just PM me and I'll add you!

Hey - for all the folks who have been accepted or get accepted and choose to go, join the Facebook group I just started! Look for SUNY Downstate Accelerated BSN: 2014-2015 Class

Ohhhh. my bad - I think that the person who e-mailed me meant to say that the package would go out no later than the 3rd, not arrive no later than the 3rd. I realized that he probably didn't go through the trouble of figuring out how many days it wou...

I'm still waiting for my acceptance package to come in the mail. They said it would arrive no later than Monday the 3rd, so I'm giving them a couple more days before I call. In the acceptance e-mail they said that they need to hear whether I accepted...

@brit2368 That's exactly what my application status changed to (I realized it after they sent the acceptance e-mail). Fingers crossed for you!

@draf77 I totally hear that! I was basically like, "Let me tell you in all of the ways that yes, yes I accept!!!" Downstate was the only school that I applied to, so I would send a carrier pigeon and hire a skywriter just to make sure that they get t...

@alivera I have definitely considered those fields, but I'm waiting to gain more experience before I commit to a particular specialty. Right now, I'm particularly interested in trauma :) @draf77 I emailed them my acceptance while asking if I needed t...

I live in Flatbush - really close to school.

Some more about me: I have a BA in Psychology from Brooklyn College. I graduated in 2012 after many years off and on with time in Music Industry (Boston) and Music Education (Brooklyn). I've been working as a sex educator/purchasing associate at an a...

i submitted my application in November

The checklist surprisingly remained the same - I expected it to change before I heard anythign! However, my application front page status changed to " [h=4]"FILE RETURN TO ADMISSIONS AFTER COMM. REV."[/h]
