Job description

Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON)

Location: Lawrenceville Health and Rehab

Skilled Nursing Facility | Full-Time

CMS Nurses for Nursing Homes Program

Eligible nurses may qualify for up to $40,000 in student loan repayment plus a location-adjusted stipend.

Explore financial support through the CMS Nurses for Nursing Homes program, including:

• Up to $40,000 in qualifying nursing student loan repayment.
• A location-adjusted stipend with a $10,000 national baseline.
• Payments made directly to enrolled nurses quarterly while program requirements are met.

Participation requires qualifying employment, an average of at least 30 hours per week and a three-year service commitment. Nurses without qualifying student loan debt may qualify for the stipend if they graduated within the preceding two years.

CMS determines eligibility, enrollment and awards, subject to available funding. Program incentives are separate from Healthwin’s wages and benefits. Full-time or part-time status alone does not establish program eligibility; the hours requirement and all other conditions apply. Applying for this position does not enroll you in the CMS program.
