Does anyone know if Hospitals or facilities that hire new grads offer programs that help us repay the loans we took out for nursing school?

I don't know what state you live in but in Pennsylvania they have a loan forgiveness program. http://www.pheaa.org/loanforgiveness/healthier_futures.shtml

Some Florida hospitals do, if you sign a contract with them stating you will spend X amount of time with their facility.
Also, the state of Florida has some type of program, I am in the early stages of researching, has some type of repayment if you work in specific hospitals, most of the hospitals that are on this "list", that I have seen, are in high-crime, low-income areas of inner cities.
I don't know if all states are doing this but you can look into your state BON and see if they too offer such a program.
GOOD LUCK
