Greetings,

I just got accepted to a Psych NP program and now have the job of figuring out how to pay for it. Just wondering if any of the facilities you all work at have good tuition reimbursement programs and encourge psych nurses to study for advanced practice? Any input you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

You can try Alexian Brothers Behavioral Health Hospital in Hoffman Estates, IL

(847)882-1600. Adam Leung is HR RN recruiter who mentioned it to me, but I didn't get details as it was not a benefit I would be using... Probably worth the call just to find out and ask them what else you can do to keep looking and compare...

Most of the full service medical centers with psychiatric units have good reimbursement.

In Chicago, also look at Rush & Advocate, as both are quite generous.
