Stony Brook Basic BSN class of 2020

Published

Nursing Application has now opened for the Basic BSN fall 2018 program. I will be submitting my application Sept 1. I noticed there was no forum so I decided to start one... Good Luck to everyone that is applying. It is a bit early but it doesn't hurt to communicate with everyone. Has everyone finished all their pre-reqs?

I'm a sbu alum but will be attending the summer 2018 Accelerated BSN program

Thanks @ Anemone for the info! I just finally submitted my application as well. Yeah, we're cutting it alright! Lol is this your first time ever applying for this BBP @ Stony Brook?

@RNLuvie, Yeah! This is my first time applying. I wanted to finish my BS in Health Science first which is what I initially went to Stony Brook for - I'm slightly older than most of the undergrads so I guess you can consider me a returning student. But yeah, the focus of the degree I'm finishing now is Public Health - I think it's a good foundation to have for any clinical position, but nursing especially, so either way they fit in well with each other. How about you?

And @Jared72293, that's awesome! Congrats on getting into accelerated! A few of my classmates applied and they were telling me how rough it was (AND to have all of it due right around our midterms week...), so that's really awesome that you were able to snag a spot. And you're an alum, that's cool! What was your major?

Someone earlier in the thread said last year they heard back on the 18th. If history repeats itself, hopefully that means we will be hearing back then sometime between next wed and on.

Hey everyone! I also applied to the basic BSN program. I can't wait to hear back.. best of luck to us all! I was wondering if anyone had any more information on the math test that's required during the interview. I definitely want to prepare myself as best as I can. Does anyone know if there are conversions on there (mg to g, etc.)? I saw an earlier post that said it was mostly subtraction, division, multiplying... I heard from so many people that this test was really difficult. I just want to be sure I know as many of the topics that are on it as I can. I graduated high school almost 8 years ago and both my degrees are involved with Psychology so any sort of math more complicated than those I need to brush up on asap. Thanks guys!

There wasn't any unit conversions nor anything like mg to g, although all you would have to do is multiply/divide by 1000 depending on the direction you are going :p. You just need SAT level math knowledge. Idk why people say the math test is so difficult. I thought stony brook's calc and statistics courses were a million times harder haha. Also on a side note, I was emailed by the program asking if I wanted to withdraw my application from the basic program since I accepted a spot in the accelerated. So that's a good sign you'll all hear soon!
