Hi,

Thinking about applying to Union Unoversity for the accelerated nursing program. I just found out that they have a campus in Hendersonville, TN. Is this new? Does anyone know anything about Union or Union in Hendersonville? Thanks

I was accepted but chose a different program. Good luck to you!!! :)

I was recently accepted into the accelerated cohort and will be traveling to TN from SC. Is there anyone else that is doing so as well? Also, does anyone need a roommate because I have no where to live at the time.

I've just sent out my application info, ordered transcripts, etc. over the past few days. I'm hoping to be accepted at the Hendersonville campus in the fall, but I really think I've shot myself in the foot by waiting so late to apply (deadline is Feb. 1). I have a 3.24 gpa overall and somewhere around a 3.7ish during my last 60 hours. I'm just crossing my fingers...

Good luck ladies,

I am currently in the BSNA program at Union in Germantown. AND IT IS TOUGH!!!!!! Prepare your hearts and minds for the "long haul"... Don't expect much sleep and kiss your friends and family goodbye!!! LOL... But seriously, I spend about 18 hours a day on nursing, 4 for sleep and 1 for travel and 1 for looking at the ceiling wondering, "What the h*ll have I gotten myself into?"

Well, I guess it all depends on your strengths... I have a BA and MA in sociology so I took enough natural sciences to get my BA... So, Im wayyyyy behind the cue ball as it relates to alot of stuff... The best piece of advice (for social sciences majors) I can give is REALLY pay attention in A and P... Don't just retain the info to get through exams, YOU WILL SEE IT AGAIN in patho, and Pharm for sure... Now, if you gave your brain wrapped around that stuff, you'll do much better than me... Im holding steady with solid B's but it's been tough, it's so much info and I have to go back and learn basic stuff (like what the lymphatic, CNS, etc. systems do) and then learn the info that they are teaching... My strengths have been classes like Skills and Issues, classes that are more geared to the ethical and social considerations of nursing. These classes proved to be challenges for my colleagues that have biology, chemistry, etc degrees...What I do know is that men are at a high demand at Union so that's a plus for you... We have several men (maybe 10) in our class of 41 (well 37 now because a few failedout).... I say, go for it!! It's doable, but you MUST commit!!

Breaks?!?!?!?! What are those?!?!?! Lol....Our very first day was a federal holiday, Dr Martin Luther King, Jr. The other programs were off, we filed in and were greeted with, "How does it feel to be here on a federal holiday?" and then heard, "Well welcome to the rest of your life, NURSES ALWAYS WORK ON HOLIDAYS!!" lol.... CONGRATS AND WELCOME!!!

My wife is a nurse so I know all about working holidays lol. I guess I meant like how long do you get off for Thanksgiving and Christmas?

Are the instructors at your campus helpful and nice?

Also, what all did they ask you in your interview with them before you were accepted? I should be hearing back this week or next if I've been selected.

I'm not sure what our Thanksgiving schedule will look like, I can't think that far ahead. My life has literally become, "what's happening TODAY"? This is only my second semester and last semester was all night classes. So, I'm sure that's apart of the shock, this is our first full time semester (we started on Jan. 2)... But, what's awesome is that in just 3 short weeks I've learned alot about the human body and pathologies... I find myself telling people whats wrong with them and everything, lol. I will try to find out about Thanksgiving break today and let you know... We graduate on Dec 8 so christmas will be all mine!!!!!! The instructors (for the most part) are very helpful, which is a plus but they have a job to do (make us SAFE nurses) so they are also tough. The interview was pretty straight forward, I googled what to expect and was prepared... "Why, and what made you want to be a nurse". I wasn't expecting the spiritual questions (How will you incorporate Christ into practice) but answered those pretty easily... Im not sure about Hendersonvillle, but the competition here in Memphis was very steep! So, I was kinda surprised about my acceptance... It was all kinda a fluke... I never saw nursing on the horizon in my life but God saw differently... If you can knock out the TEAS, have a decent GPA and a good interview, i say "you're in"... Your major plus is that you're male... Good luck and knock em' dead!

I'm confused. I though the program is 15 months long, but you're graduating in December?

Up Vote Up Vote ×

Yes, from August 2011 to December 2012... I think that's right... Or maybe it was October, lol.... But that first semester was Micro, Issues, Scientific Writing, Patho (some people had to take Psychology, Stats I think and a few other prereqs that I didn't have to)... All of those classes were from 5:30-8:30 or 9:30 pm...
