Loan Repayment programs in West Palm Beach Area?

Published

I will be moving to West Palm Beach, Florida this Fall and would like to work for a hospital/clinic in the area that have either sign on bonuses or a loan repayment plan. I need to pay these loans off! :no: I am a Med/Surg nurse currently. I have heard the VA hospital might offer something like this. If anyone has feedback about the local hospitals and their repayment programs, any info would be appreciated!

Thanks!

The VA usually pays more than the health department. I don't know about the VA but the health department will pay up to $4000 per year of student loans.

The health department does not pay much (not sure what they pay and I don't think anyone would tell me), but there are not nights or weekends.

Specializes in Med-Surg.

Part of the fees we pay for our license goes to a state program for Loan Forgiveness. It works like this, you work in a "designated facility" for a year and at the end of that year they pay off $4000.00, then the next year another $4,000 etc.

I'm not sure if West Palm area has any of the designated facilities, which are usually teaching and not-for-profit hospitals. I'm fortunate enough to be working for one and looking forward to having my loans paid off. http://www.nslfp.com/

I haven't heard of any loan forgiveness around here in St. Pete, but good luck!
