hello i am an alumni of UNLV i am currently in my hometown of buffalo, ny and was just accpeted into a nursing program. i intend on moving back to Vegas once i get my RN in about a year and a half-two years. Are there any hospitals offering tuition assistance for signing an employment contract with them? If not does anyone know of any good scholarship websites they can direct me to? Thanks!

There are hospitals that pay you $2000 a semester in return for a few years of service (2 I think). The Valley Health System provides that; however, I am unsure of the qualifications for out-of-state grads.
Sunrise Hospital used to pay for relocation and sign-on bonuses for out-of-state nurses but I am unsure if they do that anymore.
And most hospitals offer a sign-on bonus if you sign a contract in an ICU setting.

The hospital system I work for pays tuition / reimbursement after 1 year of employment. I believe most of them out here do the same.
thanks! do you know if they pay out the cost of tuition previous to your employment like all ur nursing classes or just ongoing education from the time u start employment? thanks
