FNP in the Making

Hey All! I have applied for Union's Spring 2014 ABSN program at Hendersonville. I submitted all of my application material on April 16 and NursingCAS finalized/"verified" & forwarded my application to Union on May 1. I am still anxiously waiting ...

Best of luck! You'll have to keep us posted if you do indeed end up here! I just spent forever finding a new apartment, so I can give you some info on what I found, but I'm probably not a ton of help. I'm pretty picky when it comes to finding apartm...

@apartridge232- There isn't anything showing up for my Stafford anywhere on my account. I've sent emails & they assure me I've done everything I need to do, just odd it's not showing up anywhere & it's showing my tuition is being paid from my...

@peachcity42- There really isn't much of a difference in the programs that I know of, except Hendersonville admits in both the Spring & Fall, while the other two only admit in the Fall. Coming from Atlanta, the H'ville campus would be great for y...

@huffmant- Hey Tessa. Dress code was brought up tonight & supposedly we are supposed to dress nice for class (ie- no jeans or sneakers). A few of us have no dress pants for tomorrow, so I think for orientation there will be a lot of jeans. Hopefu...

Have any of you received your financial aid letter from filling out your FAFSA? All that is showing up is my MedCAP loan still & it has been applied to my tuition...that was for living expenses. I was assured I would get stafford/perkins loans, b...

Oh yeah, I think that only applies to clinical (& maybe lab) settings. She said in a previous email that they would have the uniform people there at orientation, but we didn't need to actually buy them until summer I think it was. So my guess is ...

Where did you find the handbook? I saw one on the nursing site, but didn't see anything about dress code. I'm planning on wearing jeans to orientation unless I hear otherwise, in which case I'll pass the info along.

Tessa- I just sent you a private message with dinner details. As far as dress code, I'm not sure, but there is a picture on Union's Nursing School Facebook page of the first day of class for Hendersonville's BSNA a few years ago & it looks like e...

I sent you all private messages with dinner plans. If you aren't on Facebook & I missed you, send me a private message.

Some of our classmates on facebook are talking about doing dinner prior to orientation. Tuesday has been thrown out as a suggestion, but there's nothing set in stone yet. If you guys have any input you would like me throw in, let me know.

Thanks!

Haha, I wish I had seen your message before I saw that email!! "WOW" is right! I knew it was going to be a lot, but seeing the final breakdown & dollar amt was still a bit of a shock!

Haha no, I feel like one of the few that isn't in their early 20s! I'm happy to be finding out that I'm not the only one that is older {not old} :) Good luck to you as well!

Hey 4 months can teach you A LOT!! Both of you have great experiences to bring to the program!! I was told by Wells Fargo to hold off also, but I had to figure out some of my finances immediately & couldn't wait. The process went really quick wit...

I spent 5 years working at UNC Hospital. I spent 3 years working in the GYN Oncology clinic as a referral coordinator & then I spent 2 years working on the back end in billing & insurance. I had the privilege (total sarcasm!) of sitting on th...

Oops sorry for the double post above, I accidentally closed out before hitting post & didn't think it saved it. I forgot to mention that as Ashley said I'm on Pinterest, my name is drpierce. I also have instagram, my name is drpierce1011. Feel fr...

Oh absolutely! From what it sounds like we're going to be spending A LOT of time together so it's nice to get to know a few of you now. I'll be honest, I'm pretty nervous going into this, so it's helped me as well to talk with you all! So thank you a...

.....

Awesome, Ashley:) Tessa- Yep, I had all but the 3 nursing classes & pathophysiology. I don't have my CPR cert, but I'm going to wait until they offer it through Union in April I think Cathy said it was. My commute will be about 10-15 minutes. And...

Ashley- I'm not sure if we're all taking the same class sections together for the most part or not, but if your Wed morning class is Nur 302 (70865) & Thurs morning is Bio 300 (70927) the first 8 weeks, I will see you in them:)

Well that makes two of us! I'm not from TN either & have only been in Nashville for about a year now, so I feel like I'm still trying to learn this side of the state myself! I went to UT- Knoxville for undergrad. I wasn't sure how many people wer...

I currently live in Smyrna, but we just recently decided to change plans & move to Goodlettsville to be closer to Union. I will only be at Union twice a week for the first 8 weeks & then I'll be down to just online classes the 2nd 8 weeks. Fr...

Hi @buffaloalumtdh! It's nice to meet you! This whole process has definitely flown by! I'm excited to get started & finally meet everyone in a few months! Are you local or moving to the area? I'm on facebook & will keep you up to date on here...

No problem, I hope you were able to get through!
