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.

Hey everyone! I applied by Feb. 1st and received my acceptance email today!!!

Congrats Tinker!!!

Will anybody else be attending Union's Germantown Campus this fall for 2013?

Hi, I also applied to the ABSN Germantown campus on Feb. 1. No word yet. Would any of you ladies that have been accepted to one of the campuses please share your GPA for the last 60 hours of coursework.... I am a little nervous that my GPA did not measure up. Especially after hearing of Tinker88's acceptance only 8 days after applying.

Congrats to you, Tinker88!!!

Hey Wishful.

My GPA for the last 60 hours is 3.78 I think.

But I know the feeling of being questionable. The way Union calculated GPA made it truly awesome for me as I have only a 3.03 cum undergrad. However, I have my Master's Degree where I earned a 3.97. (which was 48 credit hours).

Some schools I applied to would consider Grad and Undergrad combined giving me a 3.3 - still below competitive, but at least giving me hope.

Other schools consider Undergrad only 3.03 gave me very little hope at all.

And because UU only considered the past 60 hours, Graduate studies included I had a 3.78 so I felt most confident about UU.

Anyways, don't forget your GPA is important, but it isn't the only thing. Essay and Recommendations count too.

Good Luck to you.

Combs said it right! its not all about gpa! You should hear from them in the next week or so if you applied by Feb. 1st. Try to RELAX and know that they will contact you about your application soon. They are going through a lot of applications. Have they called you or emailed you? Did you also send the supplemental application via mail? My gpa is a 3.8 from the last 60 hours. My science is 3.1. Good luck and bless you:)

Thanks ladies! Tinker88, I did receive a call from Wendy saying that they'd received everything needed and I should get word soon on a decision. Just really anxious.

Hello!

I'm new to this site but I just got excepted into the Hendersonville accelerated nursing program that starts in Fall 2013! I'm so very excited! Any one else on here accepted into the Hendersonville program? I am relocating from Washington State and it would be wonderful to know someone before jumping into this program!

Congrats Chelc!!! I am not at Hendersonville, but I will be at Germantown's campus! I'm just so excited for all of us on here who have been accepted! I think we should all keep in touch on here (or other forum) while we are in the program! It's going to be tough but we can do it!

I think we go to classes on Saturday during the accelerated program and we do not get breaks (including federal holidays). Can anyone clarify this?

If anyone is currently in Union's accelerated nursing program, I know many of us would love to know more about what it's like! Please share how it's going. :)

Hi chelc I have been accepted into Union U Hendersonville campus for Fall 2013. I am Jillian - it is nice to "meet" you. I will try to send you a PM so we can exchange information. I will not know anyone in the Hendersonville area and/or at the program either.

Tinker: I have heard that Union will try to keep Saturdays limited, but pretty much only guarantee Sundays off. I have heard it is quite intense for sure and that free time will be non existent.

I love the idea of us exchanging info and trying to keep in touch for support system - even though we will not be at the same campus - we will all be going through the same things at the same times. I saw where there was a facebook page for students per cohort, but I assume this is specific to campus location only and doesn't include all campuses (But I do not know this for sure).

Wishfulrn: Any news yet?

Specializes in surgery/cardiology.

I am currently in the ABSN program Gtwn campus and yes it is very intense. Intense is putting it lightly. Some of our clinicals are on Saturday, no classes. The first session is the easiest, so enjoy the "free time" b/c once Jan term starts, free time is limited if at all. We do not get breaks, even during Christmas we had assignments/readings that we had to complete. My cohort created a facebook page once we knew who was actually in the program....some that were accepted did not start b/c of family/money issues.

Thanks for responding!

How many hours per day would you say you are putting in? I talked to someone previously and she said she was literally putting in 16-18 hours every single day. Just wanted to see if you found this to be the case.
