ADN to BSN tuition reimbursement in Cleveland Ohio.

Hello all! I am hoping that I am creating a new thread in the correct area.

I am interested in what others have experienced and advice on the best tuition assistance programs for ADN - BSN nurses in Cleveland, Ohio.

My name is Veronica and I am an LPN in Cleveland, Ohio. I am currently going to Lakeland Community College for my ADN and I have also taken all but two of my prereqs/gen eds for Cleveland State's ADN to BSN program.

I will graduate in December 2014 with my ADN - RN, and plan on looking for work right away. I will also be applying to Cleveland State's RN to BSN program, which will start in Fall 2015.

Assuming I am accepted (I have been in contact with an advisor for 2 years), I would like to find employment that will cover all or some tuition costs for the 3 semesters I will need to take at Cleveland State.

Would I need to find employment that offers tuition assistance within 6 months, before I start at Cleveland state? is this realistic? or are there loan repayment programs available, so that after I attend and receive my BSN a facility would pay my loans off? Are there health care facilities in the area that offer programs specific to my situation?

Any advice or information is appreciated!! Thank you! Last edit by vlange2 on Sep 14, '13 : Reason: spelling correction
