Hi everyone. Could someone please explain to me how Jefferson's tuition assistance for employees works. I work full-time at one of their hospitals and I would like to use their tuition assistance for an accelerated nursing program. But I don't understand how am I supposed to work full time and be in school. I asked my manager this and he said "that's correct you can't work here full time and go to school at the same time".

I can't just switch to part-time because that means getting rehired in a different unit and it means I'll get less or no aid as a part time employee. And I want the full aid that they advertise for full-time employees. Were they expecting people to work night shifts and then do school during the day... and just not sleep? And that's the only real possible way?

Has anyone done school while working for them full-time and got the tuition assistance? I would appreciate your input.

Thank you

Hi everyone,

I'm (23F) looking for people to hang out with. I live in Northeast Philly and I need a reason to get out of the house. I just recently finished my BS in Psychology and I'm interested in doing a PhD next so if you went through that process or are currently going through it, I'd love to find out more about that (doesn't have to be psychology, I'm also interested in history, religious studies, political science, music). I really like learning about different cultures and religions. If you're from Turkey and can share what it's like to live there, that'd be cool. Also Iranian language (Farsi) kind of fascinates me. And their movies are absolutely crazy (The most recent one I watched is "There is No Evil". I really liked it). If you're learning Koine Greek, I'm into that as well. But I don't care who you are or whether you have some kind of background other than just Philly. As long as you're decent, respectful and ... What else... Idk just be normal lol, all the friends I've made online live in some faraway countries and I would really like to make friends that I can hang out with. My friends are all too busy so I don't get to see them as often as I'd like :(

Thanks for reading my post )
