The Indian Health Service offers loan repayment to qualified nurses, up to $20,000 + 20% for taxes per year of paid service at an Indian Health Service facility, for a minimum two-year commitment. The funds are to be used towards repayment of government and commercial loans for nursing education. When available, Indian Health Service nurses also have the opportunity to apply and participate in long-term training and continuing education in advanced nursing practice, management and anesthesia. These opportunities are limited and competitive.
