I sent my packets a few weeks ago but brought my copy in case. I totally forgot about official transcripts though. I have to check on that. Hope it's not too late. Woops!!!

Hey Kim! I might want a ride back to the city if you're still offering! I'm wearing black pants and a black and white shirt today. I have brown hair and glasses that are black and teal. I have a red bag too. Hope you can spot me. Can't wait to meet you all!!

Ooooo that's awesome! Thanks for the tip. I'll look into it. Let me know if you want to end up sharing a room. Hopefully you can stay with family though.

I am so excited for FNP orientation and to meet all of you! I am coming from Brooklyn, NY and plan on taking LIRR to get to orientation. I looked up the train schedule and the earliest train gets to Stony Brook at 746a and then I would have to take the shuttle or an über/taxi. It will definitely be cutting it close! I was wondering if anyone lives close to campus that wouldn't mind have me stay overnight the night before? Or is anyone coming from the NYC area that would want to carpool? Another idea I had is to get a hotel room at the Hilton on campus but that's like $230 a night so that is worst case scenario. But if we shared it with like 4 girls that might not be so bad. PM me if any of the options sound interesting to you!! Can't wait to get started with school.

Any advice when you get sick while working night shift? I came down with a cold about two weeks ago and then worked one shift. Then, still sick, I had to work two night shifts in a row during the bad snow storm bc we were short staffed. I called out sick for my 3rd shift. But my cold got worse from all of that working overnight. I had 4 days off so I thought I'd get better. After my days of rest, feeling better, I went back to work for a shift and it was awful!! I finally went to the doctor and had to start antibiotics bc my cold turned into acute sinusitis. I learned my lesson and called out sick for the next two shifts. Now I am finally feeling better. Do you think working nights screws with your immune system worse than working a 12 hour day shift? I wish I would have never worked while I was sick. It made me worse and not to mention having to interact with patients while I have a runny nose, sore throat, cough and barely any voice left by the end of my shift! The patients must have been scared of me! Also, I put my other co-workers in a bad situation because I was definitely contagious. Oh well that's probably a topic for another board - working while your sick. I think night shift makes it worse though.

I got in too! I woke up around 430p (night shift RN) to find the email I've been waiting for since November in my inbox! Yay! So excited! Congratulations to all that got in! Can't wait to meet you at orientation!!! I am on Cloud 9!

I emailed Stony Brook yesterday to follow up on my application and this what she said. "We are in the process of wrapping up reviewing applications, decisions will be sent as soon as possible". Ughhhh couldn't be more vague. We just have to be patient, stay positive and wait

Okay thanks. Yeah I've been waiting since November! Not fun haha!

How did the interviews go?! Did they give an update on when we might find out if we are accepted?

I am also from NY. I live in Brooklyn so it took me a good 2 hours to get there and then 3 hours to get back bc of traffic. I will be taking LIRR if I get in because I'd rather sit on a train and study than deal with traffic. Has anyone heard anything yet? I interviewed in Nov and still haven't heard a peep. I am guessing we won't hear till next month or maybe even February if they aren't able to attend the Jan meeting! This waiting is driving me nuts but guess just gotta be patient :)

I interviewed on Nov 11, 2015. I still haven't heard if I am in officially or not. This waiting is nervewracking!

I also got an email for an interview. I haven't scheduled it yet. Hopefully I can go in the next few weeks. I also want to know what the questions are and how the interview went. If anyone has any info, please share!

I made a Facebook Group for us called Georgia State University Nursing Fall 2013. Please join if you want!

I just put my acceptance letter in the mail! Woohoo!

Yeah I was accelerated. Who knows man? I thought interview went well. Doesn't matter :)
