Establishes tuition reimbursement program for certain advanced practice nurses who provide home health care services.
This bill establishes a tuition reimbursement program for New Jersey residents who are certified advanced practice nurses (APRNs) with specialized training in home health care. Eligible nurses must agree to provide full-time home health care services in New Jersey for one to four years in exchange for reimbursement covering up to 100% of their lowest-year tuition costs from an accredited APRN program (25% per year of service). Participants must maintain NJ residency, certification, and adhere to service standards, including charging reasonable rates and providing care regardless of patients' ability to pay. The program is administered by the Higher Education Student Assistance Authority (HESAA) and excludes those in other existing loan repayment programs.
