Stony Brook Basic BSN Fall 2012

Hello everyone!

I applied to Stony Brook's Basic (2-year) BSN program 3 weeks a go and thought it may be helpful to start up a forum.

If you are:

currently applying or plan on applying, a former applicant, a current SBU student, I'd love to hear from you!

Has everyone finished their perquisites? Does anyone else have a not so competitive GPA (like me)? Does anyone know who is considered a competitive applicant? Where is everyone else applying?

I look forward to speaking with everyone and hopefully entering the Fall '12 class together!

    BioD, I also got my Suffolk letter today. Was it good news? I'm an Out Of State resident so I knew they probably weren't going to accept me. I'm crossing my fingers for SB :)

    Thanks alvins!!! At least I have an option! Did you apply to any other schools?

  • Quote

    Exactly, you have an option just in case . I applied to Binghanton University, Plattsburgh University and the College of New Rochelle.

    I have a feeling we'll hear today!

    Although I said that the last Monday, and of course, we didn't.

    I am applying to a school in Australia just in case this doesn't work out, so I guess I have a backup plan. I'd definitely prefer to get into SBU, though... Good luck everyone.

    @Mindylane, if yo do your nursing studies in Australia, will you be able to work in the USA?

    Hey AlvinS,

    I'm actually not even sure how that'd work. I know I could work in AU with a degree from the US, but I don't know how it works the other way around. My husband is from Australia, so the worst case scenario would be we just move there permanently. My parents don't like this idea, needless to say, but it's a wonderful country and nurses just got a 25% pay increase across the board there! Sounds good to me :D

    Yea, Australia sounds like a great place to live. 25% sounds awesome. I hope you get into SBU since it will enable you to work in both USA and Australia.

    Hi everyone. I havent been on for a while but have constantly been checking my solar and to my disappointment i recieved this email this morning from hsc. The School of Nursing has needed additional time for admissions processes and requests that you check your emails in mid-May for notification of decision information. *We apologize for the inconvenience and sincerely appreciate your patience as application review continues. *Thank you.
