Are there employers who offer tuition reimbursement?
In the annual member nursing home employment survey, conducted in June, 2001, 68% of nursing homes reported offering tuition reimbursement to their full-time employees. While reimbursement policies vary widely, more than half reported offering between $750-$1500 per employee per year. A handful of providers reported paying full tuition for nursing programs, and several tied reimbursement to the employee’s tenure at the facility or the achievement of a minimum class grade. At any rate, you should ask what the individual facility’s policies are, you may be very pleasantly surprised.
