RN to BSN Tuition Reimbursement Program

This program allows eligible RNs to attend any fully accredited RN to BSN Program and have all, or part, of their tuition paid (depending on the school). 

We will support eligible full-time, part-time and career per diem RNs, as available space permits.

Note:  The hospital offers a differential for nurses with the BSN degree; an additional differential for those with the MSN degree. 

Tuition Assistance and Education Allowance

Once a nurse has completed one year of employment, full-time RNs will be reimbursed 75-percent of tuition expenses, up to $300 per quarter, for coursework taken that is directly related to their position or to a position that the employee could progress to within the hospital.  Full-time RNs and LVNs are eligible for an annual $250 education allowance; part-time RNs and LVNs are eligible for an annual $125 education allowance. We also offer 16 hours per year in education time for all full-time RNs and LVNs; eight hours per year for part-time RNs and LVNs.

NOTE:  We reimburse our nurses for the cost of relevant professional certification exams (e.g., CCRN, CPON, RN-C, etc.) when they are successfully passed; we offer a differential for nurses that have one or more of these professional certifications.
