§ 28605. In-service Training for Resident Nurses.

(a) Any non-contract professional or practical nurse

employed by the government of Guam in a permanent position,

who is a U.S. citizen and a bona fide resident of Guam, who

lacks not more than two (2) years or their equivalent in

requirements for a degree in nursing shall be entitled to enroll at

the University of Guam for the purpose of completing work

toward such degree as an in-service training program, whereby

the recipient continues to receive the recipient’s regular salary

from the government of Guam, including all scheduled pay

increases, so long as the recipient maintains passing work at the

University of Guam, and so long as the program leading to the

issuance of the degree in nursing is pursued; provided, however,

that no person shall participate in such in-service program in

excess of two (2) years or their equivalent.

(b) In addition, every person who participates in such

program shall be obligated to work for the government of Guam

for a period of two (2) years for each year of training received,

failing which the recipient shall be liable to repay the cost of the

recipient’s training to the government.
