Brandywine Hospital in chester County has a forgivness program if you will work for them for I think 2 years. The school is on hospital grounds.

Also, Tel Hai retirement in Honeybrook has a scholorship and you have to work for them for a year after graduation but you have to work for them during school too. If you would like more info let me know.

Several facilities have tuition reimbursement programs....also loan forgiveness.

nursing loan forgiveness for healthier futures

The Pennsylvania higher education assistance agency (pheaa) and the Pennsylvania higher education foundation can now help pay for your nursing education and help you achieve success in the field of nursing.

To help recruit and retain qualified nursing students in Pennsylvania, the "nursing loan forgiveness for healthier futures" program will help you repay your student loans. By working for a participating Pennsylvania health care organization, after graduation from an approved nursing education program, you may receive student loan forgiveness for up to 25 percent (a maximum of $12,500) of your eligible debt over a three-year period

The hospitals named in the previous threads-is admission to their respective programs contingent on whether you are actually eligible for any type of financial aid, or can you still get into the program if you have a defaulted student loan & wage garnishment? 8By the way, I was directed to this site from some responses to a thread I wrote entitled "how to pay for LPN school". Thanks in advance for your help, advice, & responses.

Hello Fellow PA Nurses....

After graduating from the HACC nursing program I work for a short while but then chose to stay home with my family. I'm now returning to the field and having a really hard time with it....the first facility I went to was a ratio of 45 residents: 1 nurse: two aides for 12 hours...that was just a little to much for for me as it was total care SNF...I then tried a "christian" nursing home only to find out that the personalities and attitudes weren't something I was willing to work with....soooo...I'm now working in a facility that is under investation and the company that I am in there with isn't sure they will renew their contract with the facility after the end of the year....I absolutely love geri care....always have...but I've heard so many horror stories about the different facilities, I'm half afraid to apply with them....

Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't want to leave nursing, I want to find my nitch...my home....

I'm open to about anything at this point...

God Bless.... :innerconf

Hello I know that all the hospitals in the Lehigh Valley are willing to pay for your tuition while you are in a nursing program. they won't pay for your GE's but for the actual nursing program yes. they usually have an agreement with the financial aid offices of local community colleges and the other colleges as well. Usually you do have to agree to work for them for 2 years. But to answer your questions about hospitals, St Luke's in Bethlehem has there own diploma school and do offer financial aid or loan forgiveness and paid tuition programs.

well don't know where you live but Gracedale in Lehigh Valley is a good place to work, I hear. don't know what the ratio is but usually the LPN's do all the treatments and pass meds. RN's are usually just the charge nurses and oversee everything. this is my experience from clinicals there. but if you are willing to relocate it might be a good move for you and your family

Northeastern Hospital in Philadelphia, Its part of Temple on Alleghaney Ave . It has a loan forgiveness program. Its 8 or 9 thousand dollars for each year of service.

Yes, there are hospitals out there who will pay for your education. In return, you are required to sign a 2-3 year contract. Here's the kicker that a few nurses I work with have found out: once you are off orientation, the hospital starts to deduct a sum of money from your paycheck to cover "taxes and interest" which is around $200/month. Their student loan payment would have been less! I was not a part of this program so I am not familiar with all of the details. It's just something to think of prior to signing on the dotted line.

Thank you so much for these suggestions, I am checking into all of them. This is a huge help :) Thanks again!

Does anyone know if there are hospitals who will pay for your education AFTER you are a registered nurse? Or generally do they have a program and you have to go through it? I'm not looking for example (I still have 3.5 years!) but just wondering if hospitals out there exsist!

Sorry I missed this question earlier...

Qualifying for admission to program is usually contingent on being offered financial aid. Default on student loans and wage garnishment prohibits receiving future government funding but not private funding.

One would be looked at as high risk student, but with solid explanation and change in circumstance, amt $$ owed/paid back, all would be looked at by private school.
