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 two to 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.
