Work to repay tuition programs

emily_mom · Mar 3, 2003

Why don't you call the local hospitals, as each one will be different. Also, check out your school or talk to instructors. I plan on accepting a $10,000 bonus in exchange for 3 years. The money is out there.

The money is there. Call the nurse recruiters. I'm a military wife and know all about the constant movin!!! Went to three schools before I could finish. My current hospital pays 1800 /year for tuition reimbursement and 5600 /year loan repayment. Its better than nothing thats for sure.

I thought I posted on this a little bit ago. . . Hmmmmm

Anyways, I just said that even the personell office should have some knowledge on the programs offered by the hospital.

Good luck

Hi Angel,

These types of programs are offered by the Hospital or Healthcare Network, not paid by the state, so that is the first place to start looking. Just start by doing an internet search for hospitals in your area or call up HR and/or nurse recruiters at the hospitals and ask.

It usually works that for each year of education they provide (usually about two yeras total) that's a year that you have to work for them. If you do not pass the program or decide not to work there, then they usually make you pay back the tuition money in full.

Thanks Colleen,

I'm thankful for all the help that the board's been giving me so far and will be calling the hospitals today. I will let everyone know what I find out :)
