Stony Brook ABSN Class of 2022

Published

Stony Brook School of Nursing has recently opened the undergraduate application portal for the 2021 school year. I was part of an allnurses thread for their Basic BSN program last year, and the information and support from other applicants was amazing; so I jumped on creating a thread for this cycle as soon as applications became available.

Any questions or even just casual discussion about the program is more than welcome! Can’t wait to talk to all of you. ?

Specializes in Registered Nurse.

I just wanted to see if it would at least tell us if they’ve looked at our application. I’m constantly refreshing my email. They’re killing me ???

I’m guessing that you should be okay if you applied for the fee waiver and they didn’t request payment just in case they denied you. But IDK..I didn’t apply for it.

Hello! I hope you all are staying sane. I know I’m having difficulties... LOL

I was wondering if anyone’s status has changed yet on their application? Like if it’s gone from submitted to review, etc. 

Unfortunately, I don’t think the status changes until we actually get accepted or denied. ? Hoping the best for you and everyone else on this thread! ❤️

My recommenders were my Elementary Spanish II professor, a supervisor for my volunteering position in the ER, and my Environmental Sociology professor who is currently instructing the class I’m a UTA for.

I’m in progress of my senior year in the Health Science major at Stony Brook; planning on concentrating in Public Health/Community Health Education but am awaiting approval for that. My second choice is Emergency and Critical Care if I can’t get into Public Health.

My cumulative GPA at Stony Brook is currently 3.75 (hopefully it only continues to get better!), and my cumulative at the community college I transferred from is 3.4. I think they average the GPA from both institutions; if so, that should put me at 3.58.

My stats are very similar to yours!
I am curious to know why you have considered yourself a nursing assistant working in an ICU and not a Patient Care Technician. 
 

On my resume I just named myself a Patient Care Technician but was trained as a tele tech, ekg tech, and phlebotomy. Admissions would need to really read my job description to know I did all those things. Now I am wondering if there were a better way I could have told them all that
