Hospital based nursing programs

by tkgal

I am looking for a hospital based nursing program or similar situation and have had no luck finding anything other than Riverside in Newport News, VA. I was hoping to find one on the west coast somewhere. Anyone know of anything other than the schools on the east coast?

I am in Arizona and have been accepted into a program through a local hospital that is partnered with the local community college. we do clinicals at the hospital and go to the college for lectures and lab and the hospital pays for our tuition and books and then we are contracted to work for them for 3 years after we graduate. Is this what your looking for?

I'm looking for a hospital that actually does the training within. There's a school called Riverside School of Health Careers in Virginia that has a 10 month program for LPN's, 2 years for RN and several other specialties available. But moving to the otherside of the US isn't an option for me, I was hoping to find something in WA, OR, ID, CA, somewhere in the western part of the country. You'd think these types of schools would be easy to find, but I'm really not finding anything by doing online searches. I actually called Riverside this morning, and the lady told me to look for "hospital based nursing/diploma programs", but I'm not having any luck that way either. I'm frustrated, because I waited until I had my kids to decide about college and a career, and I want to get through training as quickly as possible, and a situation like Riverside's would be ideal for me.

The website is http://www.bannerhealth.com/Careers/...se+Fellows.htm this is the program that I am in. You would have to apply through our local community college first and get on their waiting list then you can apply for the Banner program. You do have to qualitfy for in state tuition not out of state because the hospital only pays for in state. It is an accelerated 16-18 month program and is competitive to get into.

Most state BONs have a listing on their website of all the approved schools of nursing within the state, and that list is typically broken down into BSN programs, ADN programs, and diploma (hospital-based) programs. I would suggest (if you haven't done this already) checking the websites of the BONs in the states you are interested in and looking for this listing. At this point, many states no longer have any hospital-based diploma schools.

There is a link on this site (at the bottom of each page, under the "Need Help" heading) that takes you to contact info for each of the US BONs.

I am a proud diploma grad myself. Good luck with your search!

There use to be one in my neck of the woods, Ventura, CA however, due to budgets, they nixed it for right now. The last of the graduating class will be finishing up in the next 2 years. Whether they start it again or not is a wait and see. it's an 18 mo program I believe a VERY FAST track for RN.

The hospital is called St. Johns Regional Hospital in Oxnard, CA. Maybe you can call and inquire. Doesn't hurt. right?

to KuKu, funny, I'm heading up to portland when I'm done with my prereqs... why are you coming to california? Just curious.

Thanks!
