Just found out that Henry Ford Hospital has an on-site, one day a week BSN program through U of D of Mercy! They offer loan forgiveness, up to $14,000 with a committment of three years with the Henry ford system.They also offer 3,000 for tuition reimbursement a year! :yeah:They also have a MSN program onsite as well. I am really loving Henry Ford right now. Oh yeah, the hospital isn't so bad either. It's actually better than any hospital I have been to. Great retirement pension plans and extra incentives for midnight nurses.

Well that's all I know, got to go, bye

Do you have to commit for three years for the BSN or only for the loan forgiveness?

Thanks for the information. That's great. I was leaning toward Henry Ford already.

Tuition is paid by HFHS directly to UDM on behalf of student/employee for all on-site classes in exchange for 3-year work commitment (full time) upon completion of Bachelor's degree. Length of program is 32 months.

A few of the nurses I work with are in that program. It's expensive but covered I believe by HFH. I'm at OU right now for my BSN. I'd leave for U of D except I'd rather take online classes. I will definately use their tuition reimbursement for my masters. It was a deciding factor for me to leave Beaumont. HFH offers more for tuition reimbursement. HFH is a great teaching hospital. There is a lot to see and learn and I will never consider going elsewhere.

You couldn't have said it better! Henry Ford is a very diverse place to work and the benefits are awesome.

I absolutely love it. The doctors are better and much nicer. I have some of the top surgeons asking me for my opinions on how to treat my patients. I would have never had that at Beaumont and never did. It's a very collaborative environment. The docs actually care about what you think.

I heard so you can confirm this, does the BSN program start only every 3 years? I heard you go through it with the same group of nurses. I heard this so I was curious. Thanks!

I am not really sure, but my orientation is in October and I will be able to find out then. That's a good question, though. I would think, probably so. Due to the fact that there are only so few instructors to teach on site at the hospital.

I believe most of the health care systems in the area have this type of program. I know for sure that oakwood has the same deal. They are afiliated with U of D as well. I dont know all the details of the Oakwood program (tuition, commitments,etc) but it is one day a week and takes three years.

does this hospital have a loan forgiveness progam? i think in some hospitals will pay all the tuition if they work for that hospital about a year. what if this hospital pays all the tutition and during the those 3 years something comes up and a person have to move to another state or there is a better position with better offer? are they going to cancel the contract and the tuition payment?

do you have to apply for this program at u of d or at henry ford hospital?

I'm not sure about loan forgiveness but HFH's tuition reimbursement is 3,000 bucks a year. As far as the program for U/D mercy is concerned, I don't think its true that it starts every 3 years. For loan forgiveness, if you borrow money from them and don't work there to pay it off, yes, you have to pay them back.

I had a loan through beaumont, it took one year to pay off. It's weird how it works out. They would post the 140 bucks on my pay as if they were giving me the money and then deducted it. It sounds strange but thats how it worked out. I worked a year, didn't have to pay a dime of the money back. But if you leave, then you have to pay the loan back.

They aren't going to give you their money and then not ask for it back if you decide to leave.

I am a student nurse working at Henry Ford. Tuition reimbursement is 1500 a semester if you get your classes preapproved and can produce reciepts and passing grades. Then, once you become an RN you get 3000 a year in tuition reimbursment. I am very interested in the BSN program. Three of the nurses I work with went through the program at the hospital and it cost them nothing out of pocket. The catch was passing grades and a three year commitment post schooling. The time is going to go by anyway, so I want in. Please continue to post info regarding this process. I dont want to get ahead of myself but it is the goal. NS starts next week!!
