Guarantee your spot in nursing school.
Eligible students can ensure a spot in the nursing program even before completing prerequisites.
College freshmen — you won't find a guarantee better than this.
Typically you have to complete a series of prerequisite colleges courses before applying to a nursing program. But depending on your competition that year, you may not get in.
At Union, we've transformed the process. With guaranteed admission, we save your spot so that once you're done with the three prerequisite semesters at Union, you can jump right into the nursing program.
Who is eligible?
High school students enrolling in college for the first time (advanced placement courses in high school are allowed) who meet the following criteria:
- Cumulative high school GPA of 3.25 or above on a 4.00 scale
Sound amazing? If you meet the criteria, all you need to do to secure your spot is complete º£½ÇÉçÇø's application. I only takes a couple of minutes.
Top test scores!
Union's nursing program is among the best in the nation, and we prove it each year with our consistently high NCLEX-RN first-time pass rate. º£½ÇÉçÇø nursing graduates are in high demand in Nebraska and across the nation.
If you want to be part of a rewarding, growing profession that demands equal parts excellence and empathy, then nursing may be the perfect fit for you.
Why study nursing?
- Experts project that more than one million nursing jobs will be added in the U.S. over the next three years. And all that demand means great pay — $80,000 - $90,000 per year on average.
- Everybody needs nurses, so you’ll be able to find a job wherever you want.
- Make a difference in the lives of people who need it most.
Don't get stuck on a waiting list.
You'll get the best education and jobs.
One hundred percent of Union's nursing graduates get jobs within three months of passing the NCLEX-RN at health care organizations here in Lincoln and across the country. In fact, one health care system in Ohio guarantees a job and signing bonus just for graduating from the Nursing Program.
Why study at º£½ÇÉçÇø?
- Small class sizes mean plenty of personal attention—our NCLEX-RN first-time pass rate is higher than any other school in the state of Nebraska and it soars above the national average. Make that 100% in 2020.
- Union’s Nursing Simulation Center allows you to practice in a hospital-like environment with patient volunteers and high-tech patient simulators.
- Every month a group of Union nursing and physician assistant students hold a foot clinic at Matt Talbot Kitchen and Community Outreach, a food kitchen for Lincoln’s homeless.
- Each year, nursing students make a trip to a developing nation to run medical clinics in remote areas of the country that receive little modern medical care.
Union's nursing program prepared me for my career by teaching me that at its core, nursing is a compassionate peer-to-peer relationship. I was given the opportunity to practice and learn that through simulation labs, clinical, and observation opportunities. Union's nursing program taught me that nursing is more than what you know but how you make people feel, and to make someone feel loved and truly cared is true success.

Nursing runs in my family, and I never really considered any other career. But when I struggled with science classes at the private college near my Oregon home, my professors suggested I try another occupation. Every nursing school in the state had a two-plus year waiting list, but a Google search led me to apply to Union in far away Nebraska. From my first interview, I could see a difference—a deep spiritual faith, a strong support system, and faculty who cared about my success. I wish I had discovered Union sooner. If I had come here my freshman year, I would have had the support and the community to succeed sooner. Now I’m proud to be a Union nurse.
