Stony Brook Accelerated Nursing Class of 2015

mhy12784 · Dec 4, 2013

Hello everyone!! This is my second time applying to the accelerated program. They didn't conduct interviews last year when I applied, so this is brand new to me. I haven't received any notifications in regards to an interview, so what does that mean... Confused

Did you try applying to the "2 year" ?

Its less competitive than the 1 year, I didnt get into the 1 year when I applied and ended up in the 2 year. Ended up loving it.

Smart money is on always applying for both imo

Its pretty much your one cohort all together although they split you up for peds/ob. Id say 75-85 for classes that are JUST your program ( JUST 1 year or 2 years) but ones where youre combined can be 150~(1 years + 2 years) And for pharm there were a few non nursing students 200~ but they changed pharm this year (I just graduated this recent year, and I hear that they are changing the programs to be more "independent" "go at your own pace" based, so things could certainly be different for future years) MOST clinicals are at SBU for MOST people but some arent. For instance in pediatrics id say maybe 70%~ of us did our peds clinicals at stony brook, the rest were spread around (ie LIJ). Community is almost 100% non stony brook, they send you to homeless shelters, vets homes, homecare etc. Medsurge/capstone are the ones where you have a choice (to an extent) and can TRY to go almost anywhere in the state you want (well for medsurge you usually do it at SBU or LIJ, then Capstone its anywhere). Overall I didnt do a lot of traveling for clinicals though. Maryhaven (the one in riverhead someone mentioned above for psych) st charles, then the rest were at stony brook for me (excluding community which is "travel" based) They DO TRY to accommodate on location though. But nothing is guaranteed, and there tends to be lots of people wanting to go to the LIJ locations out west[/quote']
Maybe they changed it this year but I'd say a lot f people had clinicals outside of stony brook. This semester I got stuck with one clinical in queens and another in south hampton. Those were some long days!
But no need to worry because each clinical doesn't last that long so you're never stuck somewhere for too long. And if you don't have a car they will work with you. A lot of people in my class don't have cars and they have never had a problem.

Here they come !! Congrats to you guys who got your acceptance emails! I didn't receive anything yet but I also never got a call for a interview either so I'm pretty positive I won't be accepted :-(

Was your acceptance sent to the email address that you provided to Stony Brook or did you check your SOLAR?

bloodorange · Dec 4, 2013

I'm in!! See you guys there. :)

Jencor · Dec 4, 2013

I got in too! No e-mail, but my solar changed and I accepted the decision!

ash6117 · Dec 4, 2013

Did any who were accepted not have an interview ?

Mehv · Dec 4, 2013

hi, I have been reading and following this thread for past some days since i have applied. PacoRN's post have been very informative and helpful (so thanks to PacoRN). I have applied this year and was interviewed also. but I have not received any email or my Solar hasnt changed either . Did you guys received the acceptance today?

kris10marie · Dec 4, 2013

Do you think SB is going to be sending the acceptances in waves? Also does anyone know if rejection emails will be going out as well?

Jencor · Dec 4, 2013

Actually, I somehow completely missed the e-mail but there was one. I did have an interview back in October.
