Stony Brook Accelerated Nursing Class of 2016

Published

Can we make this the official thread for The Stony Brook Accelerated Nursing Class of 2016. Let's start posting questions and suggestions here.

Nmf114,

if i were you i would rather go to nyu or stonybrook than molloy. Molloy students finish in 3 yrs even tho its an "accelerated program" i spoke to other students and that what they all said. I'd rather do 15 months in nyu or 12 months at stony. I'm in the same boat as you. I withdrew from molloy, i got my acceptance into nyu and i'm going to put my deposit in and wait for stony to respond. If i dont get into stony brook i still have nyu regardless of the price youre done in 15 months rather than 4 and thats what matters

Wow thanks for the info. I thought Molloy's program was 15 months as well. I will definitely look into that now. Yea I want to be done in 15 months and not 3 years.

I believe if you are also going for your masters it would be longer, but when I asked the admissions if masters is mandatory they said no. So its possible to finish just your bachelors at molloy and take the nclex.

Hi everyone,

I applied to the accelerated program. Last week,I received an email for an interview. SUNY Downstate is my alternative, for a public school. I'm also going to apply to Molloy, and Adelphi.

Does anyone know if you were interviewed last year at SBU do you need to interview again this year?

For those of you interviewing this week, can you share the content of the interview with the rest of us?

Hi Jenster3,

I applied to the one year accelerated program last year and was wait listed. After applying again this year I received an email this week to go for another interview. So unfortunately, I think you still have to go through the entire process all over again.

For the sake of being fair, I won't disclose what exactly was asked. But a lot of the questions were basically trying to assess how well you would do in the accelerated program plus your social skills. They require some thoughts and honestly, you can't really prepare yourself for it. The faculties were very nice and they try to make you feel as comfortable as possible so smile a lot, heck you can even make a small joke to lighten up the mood. Thats what I did anyways. Its probably good to talk to your fellow interviewees as well just to shake off the nerves. I was with 4 other candidates, so sometimes you forget the question that was asked. Dont be afraid to ask them to repeat the question (thats what the program coordinator said). The math and writing samples were fairly easy. Review your percentages, decimals, simple algebra.
