The UH Tuition Support Program
The Tuition Support Program provides nursing students with funds to support their course of study while they are attending school and provides University Hospitals with potential candidates for vacant Nursing job opportunities. Tuition support is awarded as a forgivable loan, conditioned on the participant's future employment in a Nursing position with University Hospitals.

Nursing Externship Program
The Nursing Externship Program is designed to help introduce nursing school students to the practice of nursing in a much more in-depth fashion than they received in their clinical training. The junior-level students spend ten weeks in one clinical area and are paired with a nurse who is committed to ensuring his or her student receives an informative and educational work experience.

UH Nurse Refresher Course
The Nurse Refresher Course, a collaborative effort between University Hospitals and Cleveland State University (CSU), is a 10-week course consisting of one 8-hour instructional class at CSU and one clinical day at UHC per week. For 20 years, CSU has offered this class, which is geared toward nurses who practice Med/Surg nursing and is designed to prepare them to return to work in an acute care setting.
