the university of arizona will give you free tuition providing you with a free Accelerated BSN degree, for everyone who is interested in obtaining a bsn program and who has a bachelor degree in another health field!
the accelerated partnership bsn program for college graduates is designed for students who have already completed a non-nursing baccalaureate who wish to pursue a career in nursing. this is a 14 month entry level professional nursing program that leads to a bachelor of science in nursing and eligibility to take the national rn licensure examination. the program is sponsored by tucson healthcare agency partners who pay a predetermined amount to cover all teaching costs associated with the program.
the partnership program is tuition free made possible through the university of arizona college of nursing's partnership with tucson healthcare agencies:carondelet healthcare network, tucson medical center, northwest medical center and university medical center. all students will enter into an employment commitment with their sponsor agreeing to work as an rn for three years following graduation. if the student fails to meet the commitment then the student will reimburse his/her sponsor in accordance with terms established in an agreement between the students and healthcare sponsor.
I got in!! and turned my paperwork around after lunch today. It looks like I'll be working for Northwest next year, which was my first choice.
For those that got accepted, I do believe that there's an error in the acceptance letter. It says to return the four forms in the packet, but there are only 3: the confirmation of acceptance, the confirmation on qualifications, and the affidavit for fingerprint card.
Keep the good news coming.....and to those that didn't get in, good luck on your applications at other schools.
The day couldn't have gone any slower. After finally getting home to open my letter, I have have not been accepted but I still feel very blessed. I have been accepted to another accelerated program at a very competitive university in Indiana, which is pretty close to Chicago. Even though I have to get loans, I feel it is a great path for me. I will live there, and then move back to Chicago in my own place. I have always wanted to travel and have my eye on being a travel RN. So I think my permanant residence will be in Chicago and I will travel mostly throughout the year...maybe Hawaii, Cali, Seattle ? I really want to work in ICU, and with children would be perfect :) after 2 years in ICU...if I'm really feeling crazy, I will then take the GRE and apply to anesthesia speciality to be CRNA.
Aside from my little story, congrats to those who have been accepted. Anyone who didn't get accepted, I wish the best and never give up. I met a girl from the program who is such an incredible person, who I felt was beyond expectations of this program. I am at a loss for words that they failed to see how special she was, and it just makes me sad Good luck to everyone, and keep in touch.
Not sure where everyone is from but I'm happy to have the best food in Chicago :) The Thai/pan Asian food is great. I love going to try new places and you can't really beat Chicago for the experience or...New York.
I lived in London when I was 19 and I once went to this new restaurant that everyone was raving about. I'm sure you've all been to restaurants/cafes that promote an artist's work on the walls. Well, this business put a whole new spin of the concept. Its major point of fascination was the location of the bathroom- as some Bohemian's expression of "usable art." The bathroom was in the center of the restaurant and it was simply a small cube of one-way mirrored glass that when you went inside to do your business, you could see the entire restaurant- but no one could see you!
wow never heard of that! In Chicago, they have bathrooms where you guys and girls can see each other walking towards the bathroom..like 2-way mirrors and things or something. They also have a new concept in clubs here...its liked shared bathrooms. The part of bathrooms where you wash your hands and check yourself in the mirror has become a new meeting place for people.
