It’s never too late to chase a dream.
As moms, we often find ourselves maxed out between work and home responsibilities, and starting over on a new career path seems insurmountable. So we put our heads down and plow through, doing what we need to in order to support our families and get through each day.
But what if starting over wasn’t an unreachable goal, and what if you didn’t have to do it alone? SSM and Chamberlain University have partnered together in their Aspiring Nurses Program, to bring your passion to the nursing field.
The Aspiring Nurse Program offers an innovative, student-centered nursing tuition assistance program in St. Louis that helps you earn your BSN and start your career. You’ll find flexible learning from Chamberlain University that fits into your schedule, and upon completing the program you’ll be provided career opportunities at SSM Health, with locations throughout the St. Louis area, to make finding a job easier.
A Partnership Built on Care
Chamberlain University offers flexible learning, and SSM Health provides career opportunities upon completion of your program. Both will support you where you are. Qualifying students in the St. Louis area will have the full cost of tuition and fees covered by Chamberlain and SSM Health through tuition savings and post-grad loan repayment.
SSM Health is not just hiring nurses—they’re building them. In partnership with Chamberlain University, they’re proud to launch the Aspiring Nurses Program, a bold new initiative designed to grow the next generation of compassionate, skilled caregivers.
