   Hello, Is a Master's degree in nursing from Aspen University accepted by employers and accepted by other universities if I want to pursue a doctorate down the line? I currently have a BSN from Stony Brook University and have been a nurse for two yea...

2. Stony Brook Accelerated Nursing Class of 2018

   afineskylark replied to afineskylark's topic in School Programs

   The program starts in June. In my year there were people who graduated in May 2016 with their first degree and then started the program in June 2016 so that means they applied when they had not finished their degree yet. I am not sure if that has cha...

   Congratulations rshergill877 and good luck! As far as the selection process, know that it is competitive and you want to stand out. I graduated summa cum laude from my BA program and thus had a high GPA, but I know other people in the program whose w...

   @xxdancer13, I think it is definitely overwhelming at times, but I do think that it is manageable. Some people I know have part time jobs still, but they recommend that you don't work during the program. It's not Monday-Friday since clinicals can be ...

   @briantai88, you're welcome. I don't know when the application became available this year, sorry. I know last year there was not rolling admission and I submitted my application a few days before the deadline and still got an interview and got in. I ...

   @rshergill877 I know there are a few people in the program who commute from Queens now, but yes I imagine it is a trek. I don't know much about housing on campus since I personally found it pretty expensive and decided to find someplace off campus...

   @rshergill877, You're welcome. I applied for the program pretty close to the deadline. When I applied it was not rolling admission but I don't know if that has changed. It's hard to answer about the NCLEX since I haven't taken it, but I would say yes...

   I won't lie that it was very overwhelming the first week but then you develop a groove and figure out what works for you. I definitely could have had more time, but I feel like you can always use more time in everything. I think so far that it is eno...

    You're welcome. I interviewed in November and I heard back in early December. It was about two months. I know the interviews spanned a few weeks so I think they told us 6-8 weeks. It definitely feels like forever when you're waiting to hear back haha...

    Hello everyone, I'm currently in the Stony Brook accelerated (1 year) program and here to help with questions you might have. It was useful for me to look at the thread from last year when I was applying so I wanted to get one started for all of y...

    afineskylark posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I am currently interested in becoming a RN, and I am having a hard time deciding between schools. I really wanted some feedback and advice from students in the accelerated BSN programs at SUNY Downstate, Binghamton, and Stony Brook. I know they are a...
