SUNY Stony Brook On-Line NP Program: NYC Preceptors?

Published

Specializes in ICU, Cardiac Cath/EPS Labs.

I've read horror stories here on allnurses.com of NP students dropping out of on-line programs due to the very real inability to locate willing preceptors. True? That's why I LOVE allnurses.com and happily pay to be a PREMIUM member every year--the site is invaluable: knowledge is power and helping out one another is contagious...Now, does SUNY Stony Brook have a stable of NPs in NYCity willing to prcept NYC students so that we can....like, actually....graduate?? Thanks P.S. I posted this elsewhere, but because "online" means students can be nationwide (and even worldwide), I am re-posting it here for maximum exposure. Thanks.

StonyBrook has BOTH an on-line (i.e., Distance Learning) and a traditional, in-person classroom NP program.

I had been accepted to the online NP program at StonyBrook several years ago. You raise a superb question. To that end, I tried to address the issue with StonyBrook and was told that the question was "inappropriate". I gave my admission spot to someone else! With this said, perhaps the person was having a bad day, but I found communication to be very very difficult with the school in general. I suspect that funding is an issue, and I did not take anything personally. I just knew it would not have been a good fit for me.

Again, this was about 5 yrs ago and perhaps you would have a different experience. But if they will not address this with you in some detail, spend your time at a place with preceptors set in place.
