Hospitals paying for RN Education?

[jcaracci]

Hello, I am an RN in Arizona working at Chandler Regional Hospital. We have a program where they will pay for your tuition if you are in Nursing School, regardless of job title...then you agree to work as RN there for 2 years.

My sister is starting Nursing School at CCP and is looking for hospitals in the NE Philadelphia area that have a similar program.

Does anyone know of any hospitals in Philadelphia that offer this benefit?

Thanks

Please send me a private message (PM).
