SUNY StonyBrook PMHNP Summer 2022

Published

Hi,

I applied to SUNY Stonybrook's PMHNP program beginning Summer 2022. I have an interview set up for December 8th. Anyone had an interview yet and know the type of questions that are typically asked? 

 

Thank you!

It just makes me nervous because I'm asking myself why are some of us offered interviews and others aren't offered interviews. Am I overthinking?

No definitely not. I’m also kinda nervous-  I was told it’s very competitive and not everyone gets an interview.

Hi @Jake1989 how was your interview ? Can you shed some light on what to do and expect. Like over all experience ? Was it tough?

Hey. Yes I did. Apparently over 200 apply, 80 get interviewed and only 40 get in.
It was me and 3 other applicants- one was for the post masters program, and two faculty members. One was interviewing and the other one was basically just there with her video off. They asked us the same questions- what does being a psych NP mean to you? How do you keep up to date with current nursing practice? Describe a professional career accomplishment that you are proud of. She also asked where we see ourselves in 5 years. Also, they want people who currently work in psych. After the interview we had an Essay that basically asked us what contribution we would bring into psychiatric mental health and why we should be admitted into stony brook. They might ask different questions I’m not sure if it’s the same. 
Oh and the program is online. that’s basically what it was about. Very competitive.

@Jake1989 Dam that sounds tough. I am sure you did well. Were you nervous ? Did everyone answer without stopping? Did they tell you when they will announce their decision ? March or February?

It wasn’t too tough. I think it’s intimidating being with other people and seeing other peoples experience and wondering if your experience is good enough etc. decisions will be announced early to mid March

@lucy0223 OK great. See you there, I'm a bit nervous especially since I have to do this from work.

We have to try to relax and prepare our responses. If it's for you it's for you. If its for me it's for me! I am definitely nervous but we actually have an opportunity that some people don't have and for that I am grateful. Hang in there and let's get through it. It will all be over soon!
