  1. They have closed three floors in my hospital. We do have COVID patients but, as of right now, we are not being overrun with patients. Which is a great thing.
  2. Union University ABSN Fall 2020

    I attend Union in Hendersonville and will graduate in May. YAY! Union is a great school and the staff is amazing. I live outside of Nashville and have a 40 minute commute. Traffic is not bad since I am going the opposite of rush hour traffic. In the ...
  3. I received my conditional acceptance into the Spring 2019 cohort in Hendersonville. I have seen similar posts for past cohorts and want to see if anyone else has received their acceptance or put their application in yet?
  4. Please help with pediatric dosage calculation

    Umm....I've never heard of these formulas. We use dimensional analysis. The answer I came up with is 0.2 mL.
  5. Everyone is white?

    Personally, I’d want to be hired for my skills and what I can bring to the company. Not by the color of my skin. I’d also want to work with people who were competent and not just hired to make things “even.”
  6. Everyone is white?

    What discrimination? Were you hired?
  7. Nervous about math in nursing school!!!

    I am not great at math. However, we were taught dimensional analysis and I get that. You will have to know conversions such as cups to ounces to mL, etc.
  8. Union University Accelerated BSN Fall 2019

    We have clinical all over. Our first is Sumner Regional. You don’t get to choose your site.
  9. Union University Accelerated BSN Fall 2019

    I also want to say that Union is a Christ-centered school. We are being trained to be the hands and feet of Christ. We pray before classes/exams and have devotions periodically. They don’t trick you into thinking they’re anything but that. It’s all o...
  10. Union University ABSN 2019

    I’m not sure what issues this person has had. Apparently they were not accepted to the graduate program he/she wanted. So, I don’t understand why applying would have been so detrimental to his/her life.
  11. Union University Accelerated BSN Fall 2019

    No. This person, I believe, applied for the CRNA or other Masters program.
  12. Union University Accelerated BSN Fall 2019

    I am in cohort 15 at Hendersonville. We are finishing up our first term and will start term 2 April 1st. I am thankful for spring break. We took 4 classes this term with two of them being online. We attend class on Monday and Wednesday for patho and ...
  13. Union University ABSN 2019

    Don't be nervous. My story sounds a lot like yours. My first year in college was horrible. I was pregnant and life hit. I did some classes through APSU a few years later. When I decided to return to school 4 years ago, I was returning with a 1.07 GPA...
  14. Union University ABSN 2019

    @Fav1892 my GPA for my last GPA was 3.8. I have one B and an A-. However, looking at my NCAS application my overall GPA barely made the cut-off. It is a 3.07. I had some horrible grades when I first went to college. I was pregnant and the stress just...
  15. Union University ABSN 2019

    I start at UU in Hendersonville January 28th. To the OP, I no longer live at Fort Campbell but live right outside of Nashville. I will have a 40-minute commute. @HFavored1- when I submitted my application through NCas I received my acceptance within ...
  16. Union University ABSN 2019

    I start the ABSN program at UU in January. I also used to live on Fort Campbell. I think an accelerated program is doable with kids. Just have to be determined. I wish you the best in your decision.
  17. Wanting to Quit Nursing School

    Do what makes you happy but I would finish if I were in your shoes. There is so many avenues that you can take as a nurse. You don't have to work bedside. Explore your options.
  18. Should I take nutrition online?

    I, also, have not heard a nutrition class with a lab. Unless it was for dietetic majors. I took my nutrition class online. Lots of work but I got an A.
  19. Needlestick Error

    I know this is a few weeks old but I hope he reported this. The patient, and your colleague, need to have testing done. This happened to my daughter when she went in for a vaccination. My daughter freaked out which caused the nurse to accidentally pr...
  20. No health insurance

    Christian Healthcare Ministries is what I was thinking of. Check it out.
  21. No health insurance

    Look into a health sharing plan. Something like Samaritan's ministries, etc. You pay a monthly fee, and when you go to a doctor, you pay up front, but send in the paperwork and you get reimbursed. I'll look around for other programs that offer this.
  22. Finish my degree or quit and do nursing

    I am finishing my Bachelor's in December and start my accelerated nursing program in January. Personally, I'd finish what you started. Can you squeeze in prereqs while you finish your degree?
  23. I got my acceptance a week after it was sent in. But, I sent mine in early.
  24. I am finishing up microbiology this semester. It's why I got a conditional acceptance. I would apply.
  25. It doesn't hurt to try. Do you have an opportunity to take Chemisty again?
