The initiative marks the system’s first-ever “One UMMS” unified effort to target new graduates from the state’s two-year schools. The UMMS Community College Tuition Assistance Incentive Program has openings for 300 RNs. New RN hires receive $12,000 grants after successfully completing hospital orientation, licensure exams and certifications. Participants must commit to two years of employment. A parallel program targets LPNs, respiratory therapists and several other clinical roles. (UMMS , 12/6/21)
