For the following nurse practitioner concentrations at Stonybrook.edu Family health, Perinatal health, Neonatal, Psychiatric mental health, and finally Nurse midwifery. There is a person that you are supposed to email. The professors responsible for those concentrations do not have any contact information listed, and when you call the School of Nursing phone number no one picks up there is a recorded message that advises you to check the website. Without going into too much detail, how has your experience been dealing with that person? I feel like the email responses I receive are less than professional and have a "Ugh, can't believe this" tone to them.
Has anyone had a similar experience? Please let me know.

I graduated from Stony Brook and had a great educational experience. It was hard to contact them via phone, but they were pretty good with getting back to you via email. I was in psych and each specialty I believe has a different contact person that helps the program director. If I found that my contact person was unresponsive I would reach out to the program director to point me in the right direction. Hope you get what you are looking for!
Hey, I was accepted into the program pending a few things, I have an RN with a non nursing bachelors degree. I am having a little buyer's remorse, and I don't want to ask them about it, since it might be weird to ask questions about a program, I have already been accepted into. I am reading different things about the program. Can I realistically work fulltime 8 x 5? Maybe over time? I am single, and no kids. I am not sure because I keep getting mixed messages. I was emailed by the school saying I must finish the program in 5 years, and that most people finish in 3 years. But the ones that finish in 3 years, do they work full time? How do clinicals work, do I set up a schedule with my preceptor, and follow it? Also can I precept in the same hospital I work in, or must I precept in a different location? Also, and this is really daring I know, can I precept while working, if the psychiatrist agrees to it? Sorry for all the questions.
