More about FirstChoice

You need at least two years of current specialty experience and an active state license. Orientation and training come with the role. FirstChoice assignments stay exclusive to Trinity Health facilities, with the option to take local, regional, or national travel inside that system. Trinity Health also notes its non-profit status and federal loan forgiveness as a longer-term nursing career advantage. Albany sits near the national cost-of-living level, with many area houses in the $300–400k range. Winters are hard and property taxes run high—worth weighing if you are deciding whether to plant roots here.

Trinity Health highlights non-profit status and federal loan forgiveness as part of the nursing path inside the system.
