Hospital scholarships?

[manna, BSN, RN]

Anyone know of any hospitals in the state that offer scholarships in return for a work commitment?

Thanks! :)

Where at in Mississippi are you? I'm in Northwest, MS (Southaven), and I believe that Baptist DeSoto offers a program like that. The drawback, however, would be that they would want you to go to their school in Memphis.

I live in central MS and I'm applying to MUW's BSN program. :)

Have you checked at NMMC in Tupelo? Seems like they offer a scholarship...not 100% sure...

Thanks, I'll check with them - that's where my brother works. :)

I haven't contacted any hospitals re: scholarships yet, I'm still (IMPATIENTLY) waiting on an acceptance/rejection letter. LOL

Manna:

You might also want to check out the scholarship offered by http://www.msnurses.org/ (Mississippi Nurses Association)

You can also look at the scholarships page on my website (http://www.nursingstudy.com/cgi-bin/csvread.pl) ... there are lots of scholarships listed there that you may be eligible for.

Whitfield in Jackson offers a very decent package, if you dont mind working for them.

Finally! A place to get some answers! I'm thirty and presently teaching school. I begin nursing school in August at HCC. I am very nervous about paying for everything-not only school, bills, etc..., but medical benefits (i'm not married). I am sooooo excited about pursuing nursing and am not naive that it will be a lot of hard work, but I was hoping someone, somewhere would be willing to help. Whitfield? What is that like? Any input would be much appreciated!

Whitfield is about 4-5miles from the Airport in Pearl. I still consider Whitfield Hospital to be in Pearl.

I was wondering what is really like working there. I realize they have a lot to offer a nurse, but wonder if it is just too hard to work there...has anyone had that kind of experience?

I worked as an RN at Whitfield for 4 years. I loved it! I only left because I found an equally rewarding job at our local county jail. I was an "Ed Leave" nurse. Once I was accepted to nursing school, I applied at Whitfield. They paid me a monthly salary in return for a 4 year commitment to work there.

I didn't find it hard to work there at all. In fact, the last year I worked there, I was a supervisor.
