the 14-month accelerated partnership 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.

have a wonderful life! :wink2:
I still can't believe that I missed you, dmskoka! What a crazy weekend. I guess you technically saw me, though.
I realize that the lessened need for new RNs is only temporary; and when this recession alleviates, I am guessing there will once again be a very pressing need for new RNs as older ones become able to retire.
I hope the program will be able to accomodate 96 students sooner rather than later.
The interview reminded me a little bit of childbirth-- you remember every painful detail for 72 hours and then it all starts to fade into some form of dissociative amnesia. After an interview, though, there's a minimal two week wait before you learn the outcome of that trial. With childbirth, at least there's instant gratification.
FYI to all,
I called the CON to inquire about decisions on the ABSN interviews. The review committee will not meet with the Dean until next week, and then it's an additional day to send out the letters of acceptance/see you next year.
So don't expect to see anything in your email/mailbox until Monday or Tuesday of next...at the earliest. So go about your business, get through the week, enjoy the weekend, and hold your breath starting next Monday.
Saludos,
GF
lol!

:throcomp:
it's just another member of allnurses lurking around,
searching for answers on forums that can't yet be found.
welcome to the forum of torture, ajwildcat-- the place where only the most masochistic of members gather and--
complain. a lot. (at least i do).
first to hear, post up!
Haha! Thanks for the warm welcome! A long weekend indeed. I seriously can't wait any longer. I am going crazy! I feel like my interview did not go "great". The two other people in my group were "so qualified". One had her phD, the other her Masters...hmmm I have a BA in Elementary Education HAHA. Oh well! Although I am kicking myself for turning down my other opportunities.

I felt like I did alot better in one on one interviews. One minute was not enough and afterwards I thought of all the things that I wanted to say.. Really don't want to get in debt for other programs.. Guess we will see.... So frustrating. I wish that UMC would pick up the extra as they are expanding...
