Stony Brook School of Nursing

What Stony Brook School of Nursing does

Stony Brook University School of Nursing is a constituent school of Stony Brook University within the State University of New York (SUNY) public university system, founded in 1970 and located in Stony Brook, New York. The school delivers a comprehensive portfolio of nursing education programs spanning three undergraduate tracks (Basic Baccalaureate, Accelerated Baccalaureate, and online RN-to-Baccalaureate), ten Master of Science nurse practitioner and specialty tracks (including the only hybrid-online Neonatal NP and Nurse Midwifery programs in New York State), a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP), a Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing (PhD launching Summer 2027), and nine post-master's advanced certificate programs. All programs operate under CCNE accreditation with additional ACME accreditation for Nurse Midwifery.

The school's technology and teaching infrastructure centers on the NEXUS Innovation Center, a simulation-based learning facility designated as one of only three SUNY Regional Nursing Simulation Centers in New York State following a $20.5 million investment ($10 million from SUNY, $10.5 million matching from Stony Brook University). The NEXUS center integrates simulation technologies, simulcast remote-learning capabilities for Long Island, telehealth training platforms, and the Brightspace/D2L learning management system. Research activity is anchored in an Office of Nursing Research supporting NIH-funded studies (e.g., R01NR019535, K23NR015970) in HIV/AIDS, heart failure, frailty syndrome, and population health, and is conducted in collaboration with Stony Brook Medicine's five health professions schools.

The business model is academic: revenue is generated from undergraduate and graduate tuition and fees (with differentiated in-state and out-of-state rates), recurring SUNY state appropriations, external research grants from agencies such as the NIH, and philanthropic donations and endowed scholarships. Go-to-market combines traditional admissions-driven student recruitment with a student-led Student Nurses' Association (SBSNA) community channel and participation in healthcare policy and nursing conferences. Clinical training is delivered through a network of affiliated healthcare partners including Stony Brook University Hospital, Stony Brook Children's Hospital, Stony Brook Southampton Hospital, and the Long Island State Veterans Home.
