Questions about how to fund ivy tech ASN (nursing) program and stay in Lafayette Indiana
What is the best way to pay for nursing school using employer tuition remission/ employer service commitments for the ASN (nursing) program if I want to stay in the Lafayette area after graduating?
I’ve been looking around and saw that IU health has an employer tuition program called GUILD but I haven’t been able to read much about it because it’s hidden behind an employee log in. Does anyone know about how long you have to work there before you’re eligible for tuition coverage? Does it come with a required service commitment? Are you still eligible for the sign on bonus?
There’s also the IU health student nurse program which pays 5k ish a semester for ASN programs but comes with a service commitment that the total service time depends on the money they spend on you. Worth it or no? Eligible for sign on bonus (probably not)?
Next one: nurse corp. comes with a stipend but 2 years of service. Lafayette is currently in a staffing shortage and is eligible.
Beacon and community health network are not located any where near Lafayette as far as I’m aware so I’m not interested in their programs.
Is there anything else I’m missing? Any words from the wise? I could just reach out to an ivy career link person but I’d like to check in with everyone else first to come prepared to any appointment I set up.
