Building A Career Through Education
Hoag Hospital is committed to providing an environment where nurses are encouraged and supported in advancing their career through higher education and training. Hoag provides a variety of programs designed to assist nursing professionals who want to enhance their education such as:
Tuition Reimbursement
Hoag's tuition reimbursement program offers nurses an excellent method for obtaining a degree or enhancing their work environment and practical expertise. Continuing education that leads to earning a degree, certification, relates to an employee's current job, or will lead to a hospital profession, is supported through this comprehensive program.
Based on a sliding scale, expenses that are eligible for reimbursement include tuition, registration fees, lab fees, special equipment and required books. Hoag employees may request tuition reimbursement after one year of employment and department head approval prior to attending a class. Hoag's reimbursement process is simple. After the course has ended, just submit proof of completion such as a grade report and receipts, and the reimbursement request is processed. Satisfactory completion of the course is required to receive reimbursement.
Scholarships
Based on the strength of an individual's application, Hoag Hospital is pleased to award annual scholarships to nurses pursuing either a baccalaureate or master's degree in nursing. Criteria include: financial need, professional growth, accomplishments in specialty and critical care areas, community and civic involvement and the applicant's contribution to the nursing profession as well as the hospital.
Scholarships are available to applicants enrolled in an accredited program and the amounts awarded are based on individual need, expenses involved in the program and the criteria noted above.
Onsite BSN and MSN Programs
For those nurses interested in working toward a baccalaureate degree, Hoag Hospital offers a unique BSN program with California State University-Long Beach (CSULB). Hoag and CSULB have joined forces to create a convenient way for nurses to enroll in and complete their BSN degree onsite at Hoag Hospital.

Both programs directly benefit Hoag's nursing staff by offering a convenient method for pursuing an advanced degree while in turn, benefiting our patients through the enhanced education of the staff caring for them.
