From the pre-nursing board there were a number of us waiting to hear from Downstate, and by now quite a few have been accepted!
So please, introduce yourselves here in the Nursing Student forum, and let's continue the discussion as we prepare to start classes in 3 months.
Where are you holding so far? Medical clearance, CPR, supplies, figuring out your finances and schedules for the next year... let's discuss!
Does anyone know the orientation schedule? I know it starts tomorrow at 8AM, but when is it supposed to end? Is Tuesday also an orientation day?
I know this is a bad way to start, but where does it state that orientation begins at 8am? I believe it, but I can't find the email or the information anywhere that states the time. Also, where exactly are we expected to go?
Thanks
The information about the orientation was in the admissions packet that you got when you were accepted.
Here is the excerpt from the acceptance letter:
[it's probably too late to call if you haven't done so yet.]A mandatory orientation and registration program will be held on Monday, June 1, through Tuesday, June 2...Please be advised that the program will begin with check-in from 8:00-8:30 a.m. in the Atrium inside the Health Science Education Building located at 395 Lenox Rd.
We will be serving lunch; please call the student center at 718-270-2487 if you have any dietary restrictions so we may be prepared.

Check in your admission package, it's in one of mails that came with the package. Check-in start from 8:00 to 8:30 a.m. in the Atrium inside of the Health Science Education Building located at 395 Lenox Road.
ChaYan, from the mail l received, it does not state that orientation will be on Monday, June 1, 2009 through Tuesday, June 2, 2009. The mail states that "A mandatory orientation and registration program will be held on Monday, June 1, 2009. The first day of classes for Accelerated Nursing Students will be on Wednesday, June 3, 2009". Does it mean mine is not complete.
I don't know. That's strange. We didn't both get the same letter? Mine is dated February 20. I assumed based on the letter that orientation would be two days so I planned accordingly (not that I mind having an extra free day!)ChaYan, from the mail l received, it does not state that orientation will be on Monday, June 1, 2009 through Tuesday, June 2, 2009.

My letter was dated Jan 15, maybe they made some adjustment. Anyway, we will hear all tomorrow.
I'm not sure what you're asking. Do you want to know the deadline for applying? Or how long you have to give them your decision after you've been accepted?hi-quick ? for you guys from a prospective student- when did you have to tell suny downstate you were definitely going by? trying to figure out my timeline for next year.
thanks- and congrats!

I don't know what the application deadline for next year is, but I think we had 30 days to reply after getting the acceptance letter.
