Which employers offer tuition reimbursement?

[marie813]

Hello,

I am currently taking an lpn course and I plan to continue with pursuing my ADN and eventually my BSN. Once I become an LPN, I would like to work for an employer who offers tuition reimbursement so i wont be in debt due to my ADN and BSN. Anyone know of any employers that I should apply to as an LPN? (Tampa Bay, 30 mile radius)

Also, getting into a community college is out of the question because my GPA isnt the greatest. Community colleges won't allow me to retake the classes I got a C in from back when I was a teenager. If I could go to a community college then I would be happy to pay out of pocket, but schools like Keiser and Everest are my only options.

Hey Jas, my hubby works in higher ed and knows the ins and outs of most of the schools here in Tampa and some across the country as well. He said to stay away from Everest which is now called Zenith. Keiser is working on being regionally accredited. I too am an LPN and my GPA sucks too. We know another LPN who wants to get her RN too. Maybe we can all put our heads together somehow. I too need an LPN job that will pay for my ADN.

I can get some Pell Grants I think so maybe I won't need that but we'll see.

I have a school nurse interview in the morning but I might end up at a nursing home (yuk) or ALF. I would love memory care but I need to decide soon and still retake CPR. Feel free to email me directly at [e-mail] anytime.

God bless, Di

Your best bet is to contact the hospitals themselves. Some hospitals offer tuition reimbursement to certain school only.
