SUNY Downstate FNP 2021

Updated:   Published

Hi, is anyone applied for the SUNY Downstate FNP FALL 2021 program?

Specializes in Medical Surgical Registered Nurse.

I did the accelerated Nursing program and we pretty much taught ourselves. And I’m in a masters program now and its self study as well. In most of these programs, the students come together and help each other out by forming study groups etc.

I am also a graduate of the RN-BSN program in 2016 and it was the same thing. We taught our selves. My classmates who went to the Masters program told me it the same as when we did the Bachelor's , meaning "you  teach your self and we formed study groups. How was the pathophysiology course? Im just wondering if its the same professor who taught the bachelor's program. He was a tough professor.

Specializes in Med Surg, ICU, ER, Geriatrics, Dialysis.

Why was he tough?

I didn't attend suny downstate For my BSN. I was just stating that most of these nursing programs are basically independent study.

That sounds like my BSN experience. It would just be nicer if thy professors were more helpful.

I don't know if its the same professor. This professor we had also taught graduate patho. He taught patho as if we were the med students, which I didn't mind but at times he would make fun of the nursing profession or make unnecessary comments about nursing

Hello everyone, I applied as soon as applications opened. I got an interview about 2 months ago and already got a preliminary acceptance. In the process of completing documents.

Applied on November 23, got the email for interview on 12/9, but I happened to miss that email and didn’t find out until they send me another email to set up an interview. Interviewed on 1/19/2020, just received preliminary acceptance today. Does anyone knows whether we can take some courses from chamberlain and transfer them? Also is it set that the fall semester will be online? Just wishful thinking that covid might be under controlled by then.

Congratulations on your acceptance! I think you may have to reach out to them and see if the would accept Chamberlains courses.

Thx! I tried to call them but no answers. Emailed them as well. Hopefully I will get some response. Would be great if I can get some courses out of the way before the program starts.
