When you join the CMH nursing team, you are joining a team of highly skilled and experienced nurses dedicated to working alongside providers and patients to deliver holistic, quality care. Our relationship with Maine College of Health Professions gives our team members access to a regionally accredited college to further their education, while our student loan repayment program helps ease the financial burden of pursuing education. And, with positions as CNAs, LPNs, RNs and beyond, career growth and advancement are almost guaranteed.
We don’t just want you to grow in your career. We want you to grow as a person. That is why we work hard to help our nurses maintain a healthy work-life balance by offering flexible scheduling, excellent health insurance, health savings accounts, 401(k) options, YMCA memberships and more.
Above all, we foster a sense of community among our nurses. We strive for a work culture of compassion and understanding. Our tobacco-free facility encourages the health of our patients and providers. And similarly to how we care for our patients, we believe in investing in a whole person — their health, their career path and their spirit.

Nursing Loan Repayment Program
Central Maine Healthcare is committed to helping our nurse team members advance their careers. For nurses with a two-year degree who wish to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, we offer loan repayment to help defray the high cost of a furthering their education.
How the Program Works: CMH’s loan assistance program begins once a nurse completes their degree. While nurses continue to make the required payments on their own student loans, CMH also makes payments, allowing nurses to chip away debt more quickly. Assistance payments increase over a period of three to five years.
Our goal is to help nurses achieve a higher level of education while comfortably being able to pay down student loan debt – a situation that benefits nurses, the health system and our patients.
Benefits for Nurses and Community Health Care: Hospitals and healthcare systems across the country – including CMH – need nurses who are dedicated to quality health care and learning as much as they can to help patients. We want to enable nurses to increase their knowledge base and provide the best care possible, all while knowing that student loan debt will not prevent them from achieving their goals.
Becoming a registered nurse can cost as much as $104,000 for a BSN. Advanced degrees and accelerated programs can add to the cost. If you are interested in furthering your nursing career, consider joining the team at CMH and learn how we can assist you.
