Hello all and good morning ☀️

I’ve been a reader of this helpful thread for a few weeks now. This is a long shot but if anyone is out there still looking at this thread, I was invited for an interview next week. I was one of the applicants who applied very late to the ABSN program (Nov 29th ?), and was starting to doubt that I’d even get an interview.

Although I have yet to be accepted, I’m trying to plan ahead in the hopes that I am. I have two little ones and looking at daycare options, so I was wondering if anyone who has been accepted would be willing to share the projected schedule for this program? I’m assuming they’ve put that information out already to accepted students.

Thanks so much in advance for taking the time to read this, and I’d truly appreciate any information you could provide as far as class/clinical schedules go.

Sincerely,

Lynda

Hey Lynda! Congrats on the interview, hope it goes great! The schedule for the summer is pretty full-time.

Monday 8:30-430

Tuesday 9-4

Wednesday 8-6

Thursday 9-12 (yay)

Friday 8-5

Hope this helps. And of course traffic going to and from the school around those times isnt great so factor that in as well.

Hello again!

I’m sorry to be a pain, but I just thought of three questions regarding preparation for this program. If you had this info handy and available, it would be so very much appreciated! ???

1. Are we required to have a current CPR certification prior to entry? Mine has expired, so I was wondering if I should ensure that’s done prior to matriculating (pending that I get accepted!).

2. Does the SUNY ABSN program administrators/faculty provide a checklist of tasks that must be done prior to school start?

3. It looks like the 2019/2020 SUNY ABSN cohort begins on Tues, June 3rd. Is there an orientation prior to that start date?

Sincerely,

Lynda

2. Does the SUNY ABSN program administrators/faculty provide a checklist of tasks that must be done prior to school start? YES. You will see it once you join the facebook group.

3. It looks like the 2019/2020 SUNY ABSN cohort begins on Tues, June 3rd. Is there an orientation prior to that start date? Orientation is May 28, first day of classes is May 29.

Good morning all,

I’m wondering if I’m reading the 2019-2020 academic calendar correctly.

1. Does the summer 2019 semester end on Aug 16th for us, and the fall 2019 resumes on Aug 26th?

2. For ABSN students, would our does the fall semester end on Dec 13th, and spring 2020 resumes the day after New Year’s, on Jan 2nd?

Just wanted to be sure & thanks so much in advance ?

Hello All,

I'm new to this thread and I wish I found this sooner!! I also applied late (Nov 30th) and just got called for an interview (Apr 8th) and it will be on Apr 18th. I'm extremely nervous as I feel like I'm in the last group. Any tips on the interview process? I heard it was a group interview?

Hi!

I was accepted to SUNY Downstate's ABSN program a couple months ago and am super excited to get started!

I don't have a Facebook account and have been wondering if I might be missing out by not being a part of the FB group. If there is anyone who's been accepted and is still keeping up with this thread, can you give any insight on this- am I missing out on helpful info, possible meet ups, etc? Thank you!

There's a lot of helpful information on the group, I HIGHLY suggest you make a facebook account so you can get to know your classmates and exchange valuable information. I am from the 2018 cohort, my classmates and I have also been helping out the incoming class with questions in that group as well.

Yep! One week in August for a quick break, then back at it again. I'm not sure when that week in August will be. There is a month-ish break for Winter (whenever your last final is --> first day of classes which you will find on academic calendar)

*Looks like January 13, 2019 will be the first day of the spring semester for CON.

Hi! What kind of information would be exclusively on the Facebook page? I dont have one either and i wasn’t sure if it would be worth re-making one just for the group. Is it like study related things? Would i have a better chance of succeeding if i were in the group? Thanks!
