HHC tuition payment in exchange for work committment

[ccjus123]

Does anyone know in-depth information about Health Hospitals Corporation payment for tuition in exchange for work committment. I've done a search here and got some info. but nothing really concrete just info. that's kind of all over the place. It seems they will pay for your tuition (up to $30,000) while you're in nursing school, and you don't have to work while you're in school and they'll pay you salary as well. After graduation you must commit to 2 years in any HHC hospital.

However, I wanted to know - do I already have to be an HHC employee in order to get this benefit, and if so do I have to be an LPN already and going for my RN or is it ok If I'm a sec'y or admin. asst. going for RN.

I know alot of times hospital will give this benefit but most of the time you already have to be in that field (like and lpn or cna going for rn), not usual for them to give this benefit to a sec'y wanting to be an RN.

Any info. would help.

-Thanks,

ccjus123,

The HHC program is available to HHC employees and low income families. For a family of two, low income is considered 17k. It can take a little time to contact someone to receive an application. It's a four year BSN program. You are required to take the prerequisites at a Cuny campus. After two years the student is transferred to Kingston County new Nursing School. I have an application in info package in my email. You can contact me with your email address and I'll forward the email to you.
