How long till hospitals provide tuition assistance??

Hi all,

How long you have to work at most hospitals in the area to get tuition assistance?? Does anybody work in Fredericksburg or Richmond Virginia and know about tuition assistance programs where they work?

I am graduating in May and I don't think I'll get hired at MCV/VCU if the hiring freeze will still be in place.

Just trying to find out some other places to look for work since I don't know when the hiring freeze will end!! I'm just a little frazzled since MCV was my place of choice to work and I'm planning to start my RN-BSN in the fall...

Thank you for your help.
