🔥 Who They're Recruiting

This one is specific, and that is a good thing. You will know within about ten seconds whether it is worth your afternoon.

Registered Nurses — all units, with named needs in:

Recovery
Neuro Telemetry
Float Pool
Orthopedics
Charge RN opportunities

Allied health and technical roles:

Nuclear Medicine Technologist
CT Technologist
MRI Technologist
Interventional Radiology Technologist

Therapy services:

Physical Therapists
Occupational Therapists
Speech Therapists

Full-time and PRN opportunities are both available, which matters if you are trying to pick up hours alongside another position or ease back into the field.

⚠️ Read This Before You Drive Over

Carondelet has been unusually direct about who this event is not for, and we would rather you know now than find out in the parking lot. The following entry-level positions are not being recruited for on August 26:

Patient Care Technicians (PCTs)
Environmental Services (EVS)
Dietary Services
Security

This event is built for experienced healthcare professionals. If you are starting out in healthcare, those roles absolutely do exist across the Carondelet network and the wider Tucson market — they are just being filled through the normal application process rather than at this event. Skip to the job links at the bottom and apply that way instead.

Why the Float Pool and Charge RN Lines Matter

Two details in that list are worth pausing on if you are a nurse weighing your options.

Float pool is often the best-paid way to stay clinical without committing to one unit. You trade predictability for a premium and for exposure across the hospital, and for a lot of experienced nurses that is the trade they actually want at this stage of a career.

Charge RN openings signal something else: they are not just backfilling shifts, they are filling leadership. If you have been waiting for a step up and your current employer has no runway, an event where the leadership team is physically in the room is a better shot than a portal application.

How to Work the Room

Two hours is short and there will be a line. A few things that actually help:

Pre-register. Emailing your resume to Cynthia Nestman ahead of time means a manager may have already read it before you shake their hand. That is a meaningful head start over a walk-in.
Bring printed copies. Several. Nobody wants to squint at your phone.
Bring your license and certification details. Arizona RN license number, BLS/ACLS/PALS status, ARRT or NMTCB credentials, state therapy license. On-the-spot interviews move faster when you can answer credential questions from memory.
Go early. Doors at 1:00. The last twenty minutes of any hiring event are the thinnest.
Ask about PRN even if you want full-time. PRN is frequently the side door into a full-time line when one opens.

What It Means for Job Seekers

Healthcare is the steadiest hiring story in Tucson and has been for years. Arizona's strongest year-over-year job gains have come from health care and social assistance by a wide margin, and Tucson's hospital systems — Carondelet, Banner, TMC, Northwest and El Rio — compete for the same experienced clinical staff all year long. That competition is your leverage.
