While specific educational programs will vary from site to site, the sections below provide an overview of the possibilities available to our professionals:

• Tuition Reimbursement/Onsite Courses:
  Tuition reimbursement is available upon approval for classes related to your work. (Actual amounts will vary, depending on facility.) Many facilities also offer ongoing education programs covering a variety of topics.

• Nursing Transition and New Grad Programs:
  Many CHW facilities offer programs that allow nurses to explore new specialty areas. Designed to enhance your knowledge and broaden your career possibilities, these programs also help us continually enhance patient care. For new grad nurses, facilities may propose special preceptorship programs that ease the transition from school to hospital. Often 2-3 months in length, these customized programs prepare nurses to be proficient in targeted specialty areas.

• ADN/RN to BSN Programs:
  An accredited distance-learning program available at some facilities allows nurses with an ADN or RN degree to work toward a BSN without leaving the hospital site. These programs include access to onsite and teleconferenced faculty for extra support, and often provide tuition aid.
