Stony Brook BSN - Summer/Fall 2011 Applicants

Published

ok, it's never too early to start a thread about applying for 2011 ... :D ... which i am most definitely doing even though i am still waitlisted for 2010. i just won't be able to attend this year if i get in ... :(

but that's ok! i'll be done with all my prereqs and have time to write a better application (if in fact that is at all possible, you know?).

anyone else applying to stony brook for summer 2011?

yeah i think that would work..

I would join the group, but I am holding out to make sure that I am definitely going to SBU before I do. I'd hate to join and then leave if I get in and decide to attend a FL school. That would be too much separation anxiety ... :lol2: ... You all have been so nice, I would love to be in class with you all :D ... let's see what the future holds, and that my friends means that mid-March is when it all gets decided! In the meantime however, I have accepted the offer and will be submitting deposit soon (thankfully the deposit is refundable, that's great, no other school I know does that).

dr3amygirl, there's no one that knows how you feel like I do. A year ago, I too was waiting in the wings while all these other people were getting tabs and I wasn't. I literally had to wait for a letter to find out my fate and that ended up being a waitlist which then extended the wait through early July when I got notified I was not getting in. I don't recall last year having an option on SOLAR to see a decision either, that must be new. Is SBU the only school you applied to this year? Last year it was for me. I learned not to do that again and I feel SO much better for doing so. If one door closes, others open. It literally killed me to realize that I had to return to work another year in an industry that has just dragged my enthusiasm through the mud. What was a great job in 2006 is now a nightmare to wake up and do and I am crying to get out. I worked hard to make that possible this year. I just had to.

Do you volunteer @ a hospital? I tell you, that has been a great thing for me. Not only have I been able to donate almost 500 hours of service but I have learned to interact with patients well and it gets me away from work for a few hours a week, all the while validating that I LOVE working in a hospital. I see nurses every time I am there, and can see myself doing what they do. It's awesome. Try to do some of that if you are not already!

All I can do right now is hope that your acceptance is imminent and is part of another round to come, along with all the other good people here that are still in the unknown and waiting! It is gut-wrenching I know, but trust that good things will come your way in some form! :up: Hang in there and think positive! :hug:

Thank you Paco!! Your post literally made me tear!! I've been so depressed this week and been crying alot im running out of tears... :crying2: I did apply to other schools too but I put soo much on Stony Brook comparing to other schools cuz its my first choice... It's hard not to be sad... I just found out that I was waitlisted for this other school, and im hearing nothing from another one while people are already getting accepted... I don't volunteer... but I am working full time at a community health center where I take care of patients too... I dunno if that helps... thank you for comforting tho... i really hope to see some good news on SOLAR... you guys are soo nice I would love to have you guys as my classmates!! :heartbeat

To Dr3amygirl and anyone else still waiting to hear a decision (myself included),

Keep your chin up, high and proud. We are all still well on our way to becoming nurses. Even though we may not get accepted this time, we still have goals and direction. What do we do? We finish those outstanding prerequisites. We gain some more clinical experiences whether it is through volunteering, a job, or certifications. We rewrite those essays. We demonstrate that we are committed to healthcare and apply again! (We gotta be like Paco!)

I get jealous, disheartened and disappointed following this thread but I also get excited and inspired. It will be our turn someday. Let your frustration fuel your passion as you look forwards.

Wow, I wish I could lecture myself like this more often! :p

Well said!! I am also stalking SOLAR in hopes of a new tab, still nothing. It has been a rough week for me as well, too much going on this week in my life. I'm staying positive and trying not to stress about it all day. This week has gone by so quickly, so we all should know our fate soon. Fingers crossed for all of us stragglers.
