Union University ABSN FAll 2013

U.S.A. Tennessee

Hello All,

I was just wandering is there anyone else out there applying for the Fall 2013 Cohort at Union University Germantown Campus.

I applied Monday! My overall GPA is a 3.1 but my last 60 hours is around a 3.5! Took A&P 1 and 2 and Micro several years ago and made C's. I am in the process of having my transcript sent now because I am retaking A&P 2 which finished next Saturday and will have an A, and my A&P 1 I finished last month with a B+. Hopefully they will take into consideration my improvement in grades since first taking the classes and expect me to do well in these! I can't send my final transcript until the 10th! Any advice or thoughts on my chances of acceptance?

I forgot to mention I already have my bachelors from the University of Memphis in Health Administration!

I think you have a good chance, especially with your more recent grades in Anatomy. By the way, I take microbiology next semester. Do you think that it will replace the microbiology course in the nursing curriculum? Also when will Union make us take the TEAS, if we're accepted?

I have no idea about either of those things. Since Micro isn't a pre-req they require, we may be able to earn credit for already taking it (I'd like to take it over anyway since I made a C). I was only able to take 2 courses this summer due to a lack of funds and chose to retake my A&Ps. I've also wondered myself about the TEAS exam. It says nothing about it on their website but I have seen several mentions of it in other people's posts. Maybe it was a different nursing program at Union or maybe it was for the people without a previous bachelors degree. I did notice most of the posts I saw that mentioned the TEAS exam were a little older. I guess it's possible they don't require it anymore? I would think they would make sure to put that in their admissions checklist. I don't think they would wait to spring that on people at the last minute but I could be wrong. It also says nothing about interviews. Let me know if you hear anything else! I'm so anxious to hear something! I received a phone call from the woman in admissions on Wednesday saying they received my application and to allow 3-5 business days to process it then I would get an email!

@georgiapalgal i believe that for the first session, u can have up to 7 hours transferred over so u dnt have to take those classes i.e. i dont have to take stats or developmental psych that first session bc those credits have transferred. Theyve already sent me a letter detailing this. And i dont think we have to take TEAS anymore.

Hello everyone hope you guys enjoyed the Thanksgiving Holidays....i just want to tell you guys to keep the faith....I was listening to a minister yesterday. I was teaching about talking yourself out of your blessings. He said sometimes we say negative things about things we want to accomplish, achieve, want, need in life that intercepts with the positive. He said if you speak negatives you get negative results and vice versa with positive. So future students tell yourself that you are already accepted into this program and let God do his work.
