Tuition reimbursement?

[grandmawrinkle]

What is typical at your facility for tuition reimbursement?

My facility has a really good program, but I think they are in the minority. My friends that are in healthcare at other hospitals seem to be getting what was available when I was in college in the mid-90s -- somewhere in ths $2000/year range.

What do you get and what type of facility is it offered though (hospital, LTC, home care agency, etc.)? Do you get nothing?

In my previous career my employer paid for me to finish my BS (about 14k) and then paid the full cost of my MS (around 25k). Now I'm trying to work out a way to pay for Excelsior. My employer has offered a 50% scholarship but it comes with a pretty hefty committment. At my age I'm not real sure I want to sign up for several years of indentured servitude.

I actually just submitted an application today for loan forgiveness. They offer $2,500 for every year you commit to work up to $10K total. I've been in the health system for 5 years, I figured I could stick around for another 4. It will save me about 5 years worth of loan repayment if I'm approved.
