It was great :) I got my acceptance letter the night before the open house, so I wasn't so nervous. I was very impressed with the professors, they are very approachable. For such a large school, they really made it seem intimate and made time for individual questions. We were given time to talk with current students, and the school encouraged them to be VERY honest. They talked openly about the heavy workload the first semester, trying to have time for family, working versus not working during the program, and of course paying for tuition. I really appreciated the school allowing time for us to do this. The dean was vey open and funny, not so rigid like deans at other schools I have visited. It seems like the school of nursing is a big family. They were very open that their program is expensive, but work hard to help you find ways to pay for it. Going to the open house assured me that I made the right decision for me. Not to mention that the campus is beautiful, and I love the Nashville area.
