CLFC also offers reimbursement for New York license renewal and CPR renewal, support for continuing education and certifications, tuition assistance of up to $1,500 per year toward a BSN, and a $500 referral bonus for bringing a nurse or aide onto the roster. Training and development are provided through CLFC University, with program terms provided in writing before acceptance.
