S 558 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes tuition reimbursement program for certain advanced practice nurses who provide home health care services.

S 558 creates a New Jersey program that reimburses advanced practice nurses for part of their tuition costs if they provide home health care services in the state. Eligible nurses must be NJ residents, certified by the state board, and agree to work full-time in home health care for 1-4 years in exchange for reimbursement. The program covers 25% of the nurse's lowest tuition year per year of service, with a maximum total reimbursement of 100% of that lowest year's tuition. To qualify, applicants must apply within one year of certification and cannot participate in other similar loan repayment programs simultaneously.
