Northeast Health Education Loan Repayment Program

We now have an exciting new loan repayment program created to help you repay your nursing education loans.

Does this sound too good to be true? Well it isn't. After graduation, join our RN staff at Albany Memorial Hospital, Samaritan Hospital or The Eddy or our LPN staff at The Eddy, and we will help you pay back your nursing education loans.

Northeast Health will help you pay your education loans each month as long as you are an employee in good standing and regularly work more than 20 hours per week.

RNs may be eligible for up to $10,000 in loan repayment.
LPNs may be eligible for up to $8,000 in loan repayment.

Eligibility and specific details of the program are available in the financial aid office at either school of nursing.

Please, if you are interested in becoming a nurse, talk to us. Find out how we can help you realize that goal. Nurses are in demand as never before and, as the baby boomers age, that demand will only increase. Nursing career opportunities will continue to grow for years to come. If being a nurse is truly what you want to do, now is the time. Talk to us!

Call the Memorial School of Nursing at 471-3260 or the Samaritan Hospital School of Nursing at 271-3285.

Because many factors are viewed in determining eligibility, we encourage all students to file for financial aid.
