This from the Carondelet (Tucson) website:
"Onsite, fully paid educational programs for PCT to A. D. N., A.D.N. to BSN and BSN to MSN degrees"

Does anyone know anything about this? I wonder what college this is through?
Hi!
Please feel free to call me with questions about our nursing education programs at any time!
The above answers from students in our program are correct. The vast majority of our ADNs go to school at St. Joseph's hospital in cooperation with Pima Community College, but a couple are online students with Rio Salado. All clinicals except peds are at Carondelet Hospitals.
Our BSN program is an on ground program also taught at St. Joseph's in cooperation with Grand Canyon University. I earned my BSN through this program, which is taught mostly by MSN prepared nurses who work for Carondelet.
I have worked for Carondelet Health Network for 4 years as a staff nurse, and I wouldn't work anywhere else. Recently I started working as a nurse recruiter. So call me with questions, I'll be happy to answer!

Hi I am also interested in finding out more information about the PCT training classes and BSN program through St. Joseph's, or any other hospital in Tucson for that matter. I have called so many phone numbers and emailed a few hospitals but I am afraid I do not have any idea of a direct way to contact someone with more information on this topic. I will be finished with all my pre-reqs next semester so I am on my way to applying to nursing school. I was hoping to have a job as a PCT this summer. Is that reasonable?
Thanks for your help

Maybe send them an email with detailed questions. I've known techs who have gone through this program. In fact, many techs I worked with (as a tech) transferred over to Carondelet just for this very reason.
