Establishes tuition reimbursement program for certain advanced practice nurses who provide mental health care services in underserved areas in New Jersey.
S 2936 creates a tuition reimbursement program for New Jersey advanced practice nurses who provide mental health care in designated underserved areas. Eligible nurses - NJ residents certified in advanced practice nursing with mental health specialization - must commit to 1-4 years of full-time service in these areas in exchange for reimbursement. The program covers 25% of the lowest-year tuition cost per year of service (capped at 100% total), paid through the Higher Education Student Assistance Authority. Nurses must agree to charge reasonable rates, provide sliding-scale care for low-income patients, maintain certification, and report service performance to the program.
