Medicare's ownership record, joined to open jobs
PSLF-eligible hospital jobs for nurses
Public Service Loan Forgiveness counts work for a government organization or a 501(c)(3) non-profit, never a business organized for profit. 1,929 hospitals of the employers hiring on this site are non-profit or government by Medicare's record: the employers PSLF can count, which the federal PSLF Help Tool confirms by the employer's tax status.

PSLF for nurses: common questions
Do nurses qualify for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF)?
Through the employer, not the job title. PSLF forgives what remains of federal Direct Loans once a borrower “Satisfies the equivalent of 120 monthly payments after October 1, 2007” (34 CFR 685.219) while employed full time by a qualifying employer. Full time is “A minimum average of 30 hours per week during the period being certified” (34 CFR 685.219). A qualifying employer includes a government organization and a 501(c)(3) non-profit, and PSLF counts no employer that is "a business organized for profit". So a nurse at a government or 501(c)(3) non-profit hospital can qualify; one at a for-profit hospital does not.
Which hospitals qualify for PSLF?
Government hospitals (state, county, district and federal) and non-profit hospitals organized under section 501(c)(3); for-profit hospitals do not. Of the hospitals of employers hiring on this site, Medicare lists 1,929 as non-profit or government (287 government) in 51 states, and 337 as for-profit. The most are in California (130), Texas (120), Ohio (94) and Illinois (90).
Does a travel or agency nurse at a non-profit hospital qualify?
PSLF counts the organization that employs you, which in the regulation is the one that issues your W-2: “Employee or employed means an individual: (i) To whom an organization issues an IRS Form W-2” (34 CFR 685.219). A nurse employed by a for-profit staffing agency works for the agency, even on a non-profit hospital's unit; the regulation makes a narrow exception for contracted positions that state law does not let the qualifying employer fill directly.
How do I check whether my hospital counts?
Medicare's ownership record, shown here, is a first check. PSLF itself goes by the employer's tax status: the federal PSLF Help Tool on studentaid.gov looks an employer up by its EIN, the number on your W-2, and the employer certifies your employment. A health system can run both: 69 of the employers hiring here have non-profit or government hospitals and for-profit ones, by Medicare's record, so check the hospital you would work for.
Is PSLF the only loan help for hospital nurses?
No. HRSA's Nurse Corps Loan Repayment Program repays part of a registered nurse's loans for work at a facility in a shortage area (hospitals hiring in Nurse Corps shortage areas), and many employers state tuition or student loan help in their postings (tuition and student loan help).
Sources and method
A hospital is listed when Medicare's Hospital General Information lists its ownership as voluntary non-profit or government (federal, state, local, hospital district or tribal); for-profit and physician-owned hospitals are counted apart. The hospitals are those of the employers hiring on CareJobs.Now, matched by Medicare's record. Medicare's ownership is not a PSLF ruling: the employer's tax status, checked by the federal PSLF Help Tool, decides. The regulation's definition of a qualifying employer: “Qualifying employer means: (i)(A) A United States-based Federal, State, local, or Tribal government organization, agency, or entity, including the U.S. Armed Forces or the National Guard; (B) A public child or family service agency; (C) An organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that is exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code” (source: 34 CFR 685.219).
