Going Back to School?

Premier Health supports lifelong learning by providing resources to expand knowledge and to support nursing careers. Nurses seeking undergraduate and graduate degrees are eligible for enhanced tuition assistance.  

Eligibility 

Full and part-time nurses (minimum of 32 hours per week) who have successfully completed the initial employment period prior to the beginning of a school term.

Programs of Study

Programs must be approved by Premier Health, offered by an accredited educational institution, and where appropriate, have proper professional accreditation. Nursing-specific educational institutions must be approved by Premier Health and accredited by the NLN CNEA and/or CCNE regulatory bodies.

Tuition Assistance

Premier Health provides tuition remission for nurses who attend select colleges that accept a waiver letter. The waiver letter allows Premier Health to be billed for tuition, which enables the nurse to take classes with little or no out-of-pocket expenses. In addition, tuition reimbursement is offered to nurses who attend properly accredited colleges that do not accept a waiver letter.

Doctor of Nursing Practice Project Completion

Premier Health is here to help nurses who are considering completing their Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) project required to obtain their DNP degree. DNP students, whether non-employees or Premier Health employees, are welcome to complete their DNP project with Premier Health.
