The interview schedule for the BSN starts February 10th through the 20th so emails should be sent out anytime this week. 9am, 10am. 1pm 2pm slots with 7 days of interviews. good luck everyone!

Hi!! I'm a longtime lurker but first time poster. I feel like February 10th would be so early, especially since in previous years there was usually about two weeks between the interview email notice and the interview itself. People would have less than a week to prepare if they don't send out interview notices today ?

I also think the time frame is very sudden! We’re moving to Long Island this summer so I’d have to make a last minute trip from Virginia and that’s hardly a week’s notice!

One other thing.. that schedule that was shared only has 28 slots! I’m thinking they need a bigger schedule to accommodate more interviews!

It's a group interview so 28 slots might work, but the timeline is really weird to me too

Did not know that! But yes, a week’s notice isn’t much if anyone has to schedule around work, classes, or child care. Getting a little nervous now!

they interview 5 students together as a group interview with two professors.

You get to pick which date and time from their slots. When a job calls you for an interview basically you have a few days to prepare. This is a nursing school interview and you should be prepared. We applied months ago and have had plenty of time to prepare ourselves for it. Don't forget you must take a math test and write an essay after your interview. no calculators and timed tests. Good luck!!

They do not change their times or dates to accommodate anyone. these are their policies, regardless if you are out of state applicant.

Thanks for the feedback, didn’t mean to ruffle any feathers with my nervousness. I’m well aware I will have to accommodate to their schedule. Just merely pointing out that less than a week is sudden! If I have a request, I’ll be there.

Hi, I also don’t think we should harass each other. We are all soon to be nurses we should be kind and understanding. We are all nervous and stress out and that’s super understandable. But we should also just consider that we all worked hard to be here and we should look at others with helping hands not this type of feed back when someone is concerned like this. I am a long time watcher and had to speak up. I’m sure the Stony Brook will accommodate who ever needs it because they were chosen. Just talk to them. However if not you solve the problem. I work at stony brook.. they are family to me. I think we should all just be supportive. Hopefully today’s the day! Good luck to everyone!!! Remember to self care and you will land wherever you are made to land on! ?

I have made a mistake take out the the in front of stony brook* thank you for understanding. Have a great day everyone
