Hospital based nursing programs

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?

Would you please let me know what hospital is it in Arizona? I am in Portland, OR, and I would willing to relocate if they for my tuition and books.

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/Education+and+Students/_Nurse+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.

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!

Try googling Diploma RN programs.....

I really think that Riverside is the last or one of the very last hospital based nursing programs in the States. The one the above post is talking about in AZ is the same as any ADN programs across the U.S. The classes are held at a community college and then of course you do your clinicals at a hospital. Riverside's program takes place entirely at the hospital and is known to be a great program and although you only get a diploma, you can always complete an RN bridge program and continue on from there. Good luck on your search!

In Pittsburgh,PA we have several different hospital-based programs. You can come here and worked for the hospital for 2 yrs and half of your program would be paid for. They are 18 to 22 months long to become a RN.

There are very few hospital based programs anymore. For those who don't know what this is--a hospital program is where you go to class at the hospital, clinicals at the hospital, pay the hospital your tuition, and get a diploma saying "Graduate of Nursing Program." I know there's only two left in Texas.

You say you want to go to one because it's faster. I've only looked at one, but it wasn't any faster than the local ADN program. It required a few less pre-reqs but still took 2 years.

Like kaiser panaroma city.. or the lacounty usc program not sure but i think u have to do it at usc im actually interested int hat program as well... its right in the heart of la great clinical exp etc and you can work for county la county that is ... think its about 10k for all semesters.
