NELRP 2009

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I applied for the 2009 NELRP. I did not expect to hear from HRSA until September (IF I received an award). However, I was contacted by HRSA yesterday (June 15, 2009). They asked me to obtain pay off information for a few of my loans --- they had been unsuccessful with getting the info for those loans on their own, but did get the pay off amounts on other loans.

I asked the HRSA representative if this was a "good sign" and she responded that she could not confirm funding, but I am a "first funding preference" and "within range" (I think most who apply are "within range").

Questions: Has anyone else heard from HRSA this early?

Thanks!

Gudiarani -

I am applying for NELRP 2010. I work at a DSH in Maine. I see that your ratio is right around where mine is, about 290%. Do you think that is high enough to have a chance? My loan payments are killing me, 1,100 a month! I'd appreciate your input! :)

Still nothing...:confused: not losing hope though.. Anyone else

Nothing here yet...Trying really hard to stay optimistic :cry:

Has anyone been awarded and did not receive an email? I have not received an email but my ratio is over 200%. I emailed HRSA and she emailed me back and said that some people may receive an email but official awarding is done via mail. I'm so nervous about this. Also, is anyone in the south? I'm in Texas. Just curious as to whether this is done geographically? Looking for any rhyme or reason to this. Torture!

PVNurse1~~We live in Texas and received our award letter in early September. HRSA first contacted us initially in June for payoff info etc. and then around August 6th, we received the emails with the contract etc. I know a few people who got it last year that did not receive any emails. As a matter of fact, a friend of my husbands who received it 2 years ago, never received anything. He just started receiving bank deposits. Don't fret yet~~you still have another week. Good Luck!!

Thank you. I am totally going crazy. I have been praying I will receive this award. I'm so nervous because I didn't receive an email. Where do you work in Texas if you don't mind me asking?

My husband works at JPS in Fort Worth.

I haven't gotten anything yet either, and I work in Dallas Texas. I'm not giving up until mail time on September 31st!

I pray today is the day:bow: It seems like a few of us received that same acceptance verification on August 25th making it 4weeks and a few days since the last contact was made. I'm a little nervous with all the waiting, but at this point I just want to know. I'm sending up prayers for all. Good luck to everyone!

Hang in there. maybe it will come tomorrow. I'm at work so I won't know until much later today if the mailman has brought some good news to my house for a change.
