Stony Brook Accelerated Nursing Class of 2018

Published

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 you. Feel free to post questions or message me. I hope this is helpful.

Hi nursekim94,

Thank you so much for your advice! I'm thinking of applying to the accelerated second degree bsn at Adelphi University.

Hi, I know this is an old thread, but would you be able to answer a couple of questions?

I've applied to the accelerated class of 2019. In the 2 year program, the SON said they actually pay you (a very small amount) toward the end of the program (I'm not sure why, maybe for clinicals?) Is this also true with the accelerated program?

Also, can you tell me what pharmacology book and patho book you used? I was accepted into the 2 year program, but had to withdraw after I purchased everything.

Thanks for any help :)

Hi! I am looking to apply this upcoming October for the two year program. I currently have a 4.0 average in all of my science prerequisite s but my original bachelors gpa was a 2.79 from a well respected college. Will I even be looked at or is my GPA from 15 years ago going to totally ruin my chances?

Hi, I had questions regarding the interview. What exactly happens during the interview? If there are tests given, what is the test on? And if there is math, what kind of math?

@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. The exams are NCLEX like questions, which means the deeper analysis and situational questions so that is helpful. There are online codes you need to get and complete practice questions and case studies. And you take HESI exit exams for a lot of the courses which are sort of like mini NCLEX exams but on specific courses. I think it is preparing me well.

As far as tuition and financial aid, you'd be better off contacting the school. Ballpark for tuition alone is about 15k I want to say? But don't quote me on that and again, I can't speak for your year. Then you have books/online access codes, uniforms/equipment, traveling for clinicals, housing, etc (which are costs you will likely have with any nursing program). I received financial aid, but I believe that is case specific.

Hi! I was just accepted into the program, may I ask how you went about receiving financial aid ? I was under the impression that financial aid isn’t given to people doing a 2nd bachelors
