SUNY-Downstate summer '09--Introduce yourselves please!

Published

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!

I'm getting an "access denied" when I try to open files on Prime, even though I had no trouble logging in. Have you been able to open the files.

Yes, l logged in yesterday and printed some of the course documents. lf you are still denied access, you can call the OFFICE OF EDUCATIONAL COMPUTING & TECHNOLOGY

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?

l heard that the orientation takes about 4 hours, and it's only on Monday. We are free on Tuesday l guess to get prepare for Wednesday.

Hey everyone!

My name is Virginia and I'll be joining you in the program! I can't believe how fast the time has gone since I received my acceptance letter.

Anyway, I just wanted to write a quick hello. I can't wait to meet all of you tomorrow. :)

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:

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.

[it's probably too late to call if you haven't done so yet.]

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!)

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?

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.
