I graduated from Downstate's ABSN in 2017, and had similar questions re: prereqs when applying. I took chemistry, microbio and AP2 in person at BMCC, but I took AP1 online on Phoenix. I was able to convince Downstate to accept the online AP1 since th...
The program is very intense, the students are awesome, but the faculty and administration are completely disorganized. But I think it's still worth it! We're already halfway done and it's flying by. I wrote out our summer schedule below. I'm not sure...
hello! i'm a current student in the program. everyone takes all the same classes together. the summer is 2 6-week sessions. the first block is Pathophysiology, Health Promotion and Health Assessment (classes meet 4 days a week). the second block is T...
Hey all! Wanted to start a thread for others who've applied to SUNY Downstate for the accelerated program in Summer 2016. I submitted my application back in August, and am finishing 2 final prerequisites this semester, and am anxiously awaiting a d...
Hey guys! There is another thread called "SUNY Downstate Summer 2016" where there's a lot of chatter about the program. I also created a Facebook group "Downstate Nursing 2016/2017" if you'd like to join that!
congrats lilazn04! Patho @ BMCC is in the Science dept. One professor teaches it - John raynor, and I've heard good things. bkalex, I think I was in faculty screener for about 3 weeks.
I'm in the exact same boat. I am actually registered for Patho @ BMCC, starting end of January, but I don't know if I'm going to take it or not. I really want to, so that I can focus on it and also get it out of the way early, but not if it's not g...
Congrats to those who've been accepted! Everyone else, good luck! I attempted to create a Facebook group, it's called Downstate Nursing 2016/2017. Hope to "see" some of you folks in it!
I've been taking my prereqs at CUNY (Hunter and BMCC) so hopefully taking Pathophysiology there. From what I've read, a lot of students try to take it early given the heavy workload in the summer. I spoke with the Dean and said they're fine with it...
congratulations!! are you going to accept? i've accepted and am looking into taking pathophysiology in the spring, before the super intense summer starts! i got a 90 overall on the TEAS, 100/math and 95/reading.
thanks guys! I was pretty damn excited, and yeah I'm going to accept the offer today. it's the only school I'd applied to so far anyway! haha. so my status changed to Faculty Screener and stayed that way for about 2 weeks. And then I got an email...
glad they were helpful over the phone! i attended 2 info sessions, haha. one when i was just starting the process and gathering info, and then another when i knew i'd be applying. i'm finishing microbio and dev. psych this semester. are you apply...
