Important information for recruiters

• Encourage interested candidates to review the program and open an application account before starting employment. Generally, nurses who worked in a nursing home in the 60 days before opening an account are not eligible, subject to a temporary exception for certain recent hires.

• The nurse applies to the CMS program separately from the facility job application. Do not promise eligibility, approval, a specific payment, or the full $50,000.

• The incentive is a CMS program benefit paid directly to eligible nurses; it is not a facility-paid sign-on bonus. Continue the normal hiring and screening process.

We are an Equal Opportunity Employer. Actual starting pay will be determined based on relevant experience, qualifications, and internal pay equity and wage grids (where applicable). The advertised range does not guarantee an offer at any specific rate within the range.
