CMS Launches New Nursing Incentive Program
RNs and LPNs Could Qualify for Up to $40,000 in Student Loan Repayment Through New Federal Program.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has launched Nurses for Nursing Homes, a new federal initiative offering financial incentives to eligible registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical nurses (LPNs) who work in qualifying nursing homes.
Through the program, eligible nurses may receive up to $40,000 in student loan repayment and an additional stipend of up to $10,000 in exchange for a three-year service commitment.
All three A.G. Rhodes communities in metro Atlanta are qualifying locations, making this an exciting opportunity for nurses interested in joining our team.
About the Program
The Nurses for Nursing Homes initiative is designed to recruit and retain nurses in long-term care settings. To qualify for financial incentives, applicants must meet CMS eligibility requirements, which include:
- Holding an active RN or LPN license.
- Working an average of at least 30 hours per week at a qualifying nursing home.
- Committing to three years of service.
- Meeting applicable student loan, graduation and other program eligibility requirements.
Eligible nurses may receive loan repayment assistance, a financial stipend or both, depending on their circumstances. Financial incentives are administered by CMS and are subject to program requirements.
