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'm actually in this current year's program. Here's something to know:
Carondelet is no longer partnered with the program as of the 2009-2010 school year. We don't know if they are returning for the following year. You are required to sign a 3 year contract and, if you cannot complete the program for any reason, you owe money to the hospital for the fact that they paid for your spot (this year it is 27500 should you fail out, fail the NCLEX or be fired within the years you are required to work for them).
You also do not need a degree in a health related field. I was a teacher and I'll have my nursing degree in August from this program :)
Yes, when we got there the night before we sadly found out that Carondelet pulled out hence they are only taking 48 students instead of 96. We were I think all very upset. I am really hoping that I get in. I liked Tucson and the fact that you get a job afterwards. I am very happy for you. I hope that you are pleased with the program...
Lots of emails in my inbox...nothing from the UA. GRRR!!! At this point I just want to know either way...even if I didn't get in. I am going CRAZY! :sstrs:
