What to use tuition reimbursement for?

Nurses spend a lot of time charting. That is repetitive and monotonous. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3037121/ Another down side is being a handmaiden to doctors. The academic types who write glowing reports on the profession for the Institute of Medicine aren't grounded in reality.

Every state funded health science center in Texas employs nurses.

Nursing works out much better when it is a calling and not a way to make a living.

Healthcare is a calling for me, which is why I'm considering it over IT. I thought I made it clear that I already make decent money, but don't want to be stuck in a boring job or in IT because I don't have a passion for it. I also mentioned why I don't want to be a professor, so I don't know why you would make the assumption that I would go through nursing school just to have a job. I already have a job.

And, trust me, nursing is not nearly as repetitive as my job. I, literally, sit at my desk for 10 hours a day writing up the same types of reports. I'm a former counselor, so I know what kind of repetitive documentation is needed for the healthcare field, but it's not something you do all day everyday. Plus, I'm very familiar with law enforcement, and it's more repetitive than nursing, but still not as repetitive as what I do now. I'm not completely clueless and don't need any smart mouth responses. There are no nursing jobs in my agency, and my post-schooling work obligation will be restricted to my agency. Getting hired at a health science center will not count, unfortunately.
