Those I've found on the website, but I'm trying to figure out if it can just be a general Microbiology/lab course? The same thing with the Chemistry is it general, organic? Have you began program yet?

Hey guys, I'm definitely late to this thread by a year + , but I'm just trying to get some insight if anyone has started Stony Brook's ABSN program yet? I live on LI and am trying to find more ABSN program as I've just graduated am looking into options I'm currently finishing and retaking the prerequisites required to apply, but I was just wondering as far as the micro and Chemistry ... what types are they looking for?

Hi! Super late, and only just found this thread! Was just wondering about your experience in the ABSN program at Pace?

thanks so much for the info! so helpful!

Thanks for the advice, I'm looking into a bunch of stuff right now actually. The LPN - BSN bridge program you mentioned, all you need to have is the LPN license? Are there any other requirements or is it that guaranteed? Because that would literally be great and so perfect.

Hey guys does anyone know if you need to retake a course to get a better grade in it, will you be eligible to apply still because it's a retake?

Thank you for the insight. Yes, I did hear about that new joint program it sounds great! I heard it's very competitive but still totally worth looking into. See my problem is now I have so many credits, but no degree. I had went to suffolk for pre nursing so I have many of the necessary prerequisites for any of the BSN programs, but many of them don't allow repeated courses or anything and some want things that others don't. It's crazy and makes it that much more difficult. I don't really know what direction to go!

Yeah, for me it just makes more sense to go straight to the BSN program. It's an expensive enough program that I need to save whatever I can for school. Yay, congratulations!

Hey guys I had heard from someone in the RN program at SCCC that LPN's are being phased out and they're not hiring them much... Is this true? I tried to find LPN jobs through Northwell but there weren't many. They also don't get hired in hospitals. I was doing this program as a stepping stone hopefully to get a job in the hospital and then having them help me go back for my BSN. I was just curious what anyone thought or what your plans are?

Hey guys I know this really late to this thread, but this was the one that I came across and I figured I would try. I'm trying to find a good BSN program and I know Stony Brook has a great, but competitive program. I looked online as to what prerequisite work they want but could an actual person who has been there answer that question for me!? I look to apply, I obviously can't apply yet because I'm still finishing the prerequisite work. Would you guys suggest that I take the general ed course work for the nursing program at suffolk so it's cheaper? What exactly along with those classes and scoring a C or better, do I need to have a good chance of getting in?

Hey guys yeah the TEAS exam is the entrance exam for most nursing programs, but I know for the ESB program the entrance exam is just the reading comprehension and english. There's no science on their entrance exam versus how there is on the TEAS exam. Thanks for explaining interview I'm nervous still! Yeah as far the bridge program I heard if you maintain an 85% average through the program you're eligible for the bridge program either Helene Flud program (associates RN) or Adelphi (Bachelors RN). That's just what I heard, I don't know if all of it is true.

Do any of you guys plan on going onto becoming an RN?

Hey girl! Congrats on getting the interview! I heard from the others above that the interview isn't too crazy so don't stress out too much I'm sure you'll do great! By the TEAS do you mean the entrance exam? Or maybe it's different for the western suffolk boces? My friend said it was a lot of money in the beginning, ugh I'm gonna be paying it off for a while lol! From what I've read from the other forums some people went to the interview and got a call the next day vs. some people got a call a few weeks later! Good luck at the interview!

Wow yeah thank you for taking the time that's awesome! I'm very excited, just nervous. Are you going to move forward for the RN?

Congratulations on graduating that's awesome! I think I'm leaning more towards the PTE program just because of the pace. I think I could handle the FT one, but I want a better chance of actually doing better lol. With that being said I really hope and intend to do the evening program. How would you say the program was?! The instructors are they good? Do you feel like you got real knowledge and really have a good understanding of it all? I'm sorry for all of the questions, I'm excited but so nervous!
