Union University ABSN Fall 2019

Published

I applied to the UU ABSN program for Fall 2019 at the Germantown location. Is there anyone else that has applied to this program? It will be 2 weeks Thursday since they notified me that my application had been received and under review. I am just currently playing the waiting game.

Is there anyone in the program currently that has any pointers on anything? I was told classes are Monday-Friday 8-5.

There are some resources online such as this curriculum calendar. It doesn't specify days of week or times though.

They're accredited by CCNE. You can search for accredited schools here: https://directory.ccnecommunity.org/reports/accprog.asp.

If you give them a call, I'd love to hear what they tell you. ? I spoke to them back in the fall and don't remember if they told me about employment rates or anything of that nature.

Hello everyone,

I received my conditional acceptance for Union University ABSN Fall 2019! I have also applied to Marian University. I was wondering if anyone could give me insight on the program at Union as I am unsure which school I would want to attend. I would be coming from Arizona!

Congrats!!!! From what I understand, the program is broken up into weeks (per class) over a 15 month course. Expect to be on campus Monday-Friday at least 3-4 hours a day at s minimum. Max hours could be as long as 8 if you include sim labs and/or clinical. It will vary from class to class and semester. I do have the 2019 Fall schedule if you’d like it. ? Congrats again, you’re going to do great!!! I started a Facebook page where all of us can connect if you’d like to check it out. Union University BSNA Fall 2019 Hendersonville Cohort 16.

According to their website, “Graduates have excellent NCLEX-RN pass rates for the BSN program and enjoy 100% job placement.”

Congrats! I was also accepted to Union today! I spoke with admission reps at Marian several times and strongly considered applying there. I decided not to though, because all of their lectures are online. From what I understand, the only time you meet with professors or classmates face-to-face is for clinicals. While it is convenient to have the lectures online at times that work for you, I prefer classroom interaction and the ability to build relationships. I just think so much learning comes from that itself.

I also considered NCLEX pass rates. Union's NCLEX pass rate was 96% in 2017, whereas Marian's was 89%.

Marian requires more pre-reqs than Union (Chemisty and two theology courses). It is also significantly more expensive once you matriculate. If the tuition rates posted are accurate, Marian's tuition for the program is $51,975 and Union's is $37,485.

Have you visited the area? Marian's "campus" is located inside Saint Thomas West (a hospital), which is a nice area of Nashville, but cost of living in that area is higher than where Union is located in Hendersonville. Hendersonville is is a cute suburb and not far from Nashville.

Congrats!!! Come join in on our Facebook group: Union University BSNA Fall 2019 Hendersonville Cohort 16. If you’d like. Congrats again on your success ? I’m very excited to start the program.

Thanks, @Mleigh84! It looks like that page isn't a group, just a page. Are you able to turn it in a group that can be joined?
