(The Center Square) — One of the nation’s largest hospital systems has decided to settle after investigations by Nevada, California and Colorado determined it was forcing new nurses to repay training costs if they left the company within two years.

The company, called HCA, was found to have violated state-level consumer protection laws, with possible federal consumer financial protection law violations as well. The for-profit hospital system settled to pay over $75,000 to affected Nevada nurses and nearly $800,000 to the state of Nevada.
