Actually this did exist at one point, u guys don't do your research. My mom did receive a 25K bonus BUT it was located in a small town that no one wants to live in (mcAllen, Tx) and the cost was split for 3 yrs b/c u must work for them for that long. This was like 5 yrs ago though, probably doesn't exist anymore
The hospital where I worked for 10 1/2 years offered $25,000 sign on bonuses but you had to work there for 2 years. The money wasn't all up front either-only so much every 6 months with a total of $25,000. This offer was only available for about 6 months-that was in either 2001 or 2002. This was out west(not CA though)

I agree with the other posters who note that facilities that offer big sign-on bonuses usually have a good reason to do so -- i.e., there's no other way they can get people to work for them! I consider big sign-on bonuses to be a big red flag that there's something seriously wrong with the facility (unless, possibly, they're in such a miserable location that there's no other reason people would be willing to move/live there).

The Navy or Army will if you have a BSN and fulfill the rest of their requirements. Not sure if the military interests you. Just throwing it out there.
So does the Air Force - in addition to loan repayment up to $40K.
