Which hospitals offer the best tuition reimbursement for a graduate degree?

Published

I'm an RN, thinking of relocating to DC area. Which hospitals would you recommend? I'm looking for good benefits and great tuition costs coverage for a graduate degree: MSN OR MBA HEALTHCARE OR CRNA. What areas with good elementary and middle schools for children? Close to Metro? Any good inhouse contracts for RNs (telemetry/medsurg)? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. :nurse:

Dear calijaz, if you find out any info would you please let me know? Also, are you living in the area? If so, what areas would you recommend for a family with two school-age kids. Any information is greatly appreciated.:)

Are you wanting to live in the DC area or DC? Fairfax county (VA) and Montgomery County (MD) supposedly have some of the best schools in the nation. Of course having the best schools comes at a cost ($$$).

I don't know about DC proper though.

Also, from what I've looked at, CRNA schools are 2 year full time programs. I don't know how you'd get an employer to pay for your tuition for going to school while not working.

I'm not interested in CRNA... either CRNP or CNS. Undecided. The programs where I'm at right now are distance and part time. I was hoping for something like that.

Specializes in Pediatric/Adolescent, Med-Surg.

Georgetown--100% tuition reimbursement if you go to Georgetown, $6,000/year for all other schools

CNMC--100% tuition reimbursement

GW--I believe is 100% if you do one of their on-line programs

Fairfax--$2-$3,000/year

GW and Georgetown will allow you to attend their graduate school for free usually if you have been employed there for 6 months. Cnmc has discounted programs through catholic univ and univ of Phoenix, but they normally don't cover 100%. NIH and the other military hospitals have good benefits and from what I hear offer the most benefits for grad school.

CNMC will pay 100% tuition for you to go to school anywhere, not just Phoenix and Catholic. The exception is the tuition has to be equal to or less than UMB's out of state tuition rates.
