I am 22 years old and about to start a 16-month accelerated nursing program. With the program, it is about 50K for the whole program. Wondering if even though I do not work at a certain hospital yet, I can talk to any and commit to working there when I am done and they will pay for the program. I know this is a long shot but I figured I would ask!

A hospital I worked at repaid up to $20,000 in student loans for BSN. Try to find a hospital that will repay student loans and also give a sign-on bonus. They are out there.

Some hospitals already have programs like that in place that you must apply into (University of Colorado Hospital Anschutz had a program like that when I worked there back 10-15 years ago). Most places are not going to just agree to do that if you ask them. Instead, they will tell you about their tuition reimbursement program for existing employees.

A lot of employers offer tuition reimbursement as a benefit. They rarely give out the particulars of the program during the pre-employment process but once you get to the point of being offered a position and discussing benefits that would be a good time to ask how tuition reimbursement works for that employer.

Many employers offer tuition assistance. I was in a CD2 program, Class of 2K, and after the first semester the local medical center showed up and offered to pay for the remaining year for anybody who'd sign a two year commitment, which at that time was worth about $6,000. The school was ranked by US News in the mid top 20 nationally.
