Free Nursing Education In New York: What You Need To Know

New Yorkers who are interested in attending nursing school can get their education for free, but they need to hurry. I always hear certain people complain about the state offering things like free education. However, the more educated and working people we have in the state who earn high incomes, the better our state can become. Healthcare is one of those fields where we always need qualified people, so I think this is a fantastic opportunity to advance our residents and our state!

There is a growing need for nurses in America, and this free tuition program aims to help meet the need. According to RegisteredNursing.org,

"The need for registered nurses is expected to grow by 6% from 2023 to 2033, as fast as average growth across all occupations, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Similarly, the need for licensed practical nurses (LPNs) is projected to grow by 5% and nursing assistants by 4% over the same period."

The program doesn't just focus on nursing either. There is an opportunity to get free schooling in 13 approved CPT health, behavioral health, and social care career fields in New York State. But if you are interested, you'll need to hurry.

There is a pretty significant deadline looming for anyone who wants to take advantage of the free tuition program. All participants must complete their program by 2027, which means they will need to enroll this fall.

I hope LOTS of New Yorkers take advantage of this opportunity to further their education and work in a field that helps people!
