1. NELRP 2013 - Who else applied?

   AddyRN replied to mschyckrn's topic in General Nursing

   A few days ago I was randomly checking my SPAM box & found an email from [email protected]! that says "Action Required" - sure enough when I signed on it asked me for my bank account routing # and electronic signature for intent to accept award....

2. NELRP 2013 - Who else applied?

   AddyRN replied to mschyckrn's topic in General Nursing

   I applied last year & also did not get it, I received my letter the last week in September. From what I heard from all the discussions last year on this blog- people were getting their acceptance emails in August- and make sure you check your SP...

3. NELRP is there a thread?

   What really confuses me is my friend, who got this award last year - doesn't work at underserved hospital OR a primary care/mental health HPSA - but obviously is still getting payments this year. I guess I'm just meant to live off of Ramen noodles ...

   Yeah, I assumed that being a disproportionate share hospital (getting medicaid funds) meant that we qualified as that... but maybe not anymore?

   Oh I hope you guys are right! We are not an underserved area though. We are a mental health HPSA though.. with a score of 15. My guess is that you got it because you are in a medically underserved area.

   OK... so I was basically told over the phone today by the HelpDesk that my hospital is ineligible this year. I am just going off of what it sounded like they were saying, but it was pretty clear that unless you are in a Primary Care Health Profession...

   Ok, I found the website where you can find out what your facility's score is! Our facility's score is "15" in the mental health category - so yes, we are a Tier 1. For everybody's reference the website to look up what your facility's score is: HRSA ...

   I do know we're tier 1, but unsure of the score? We're the only level I trauma center in Southern Arizona so I know we get federal funding for Medicaid. We are also the only hospital to provide care for those on the native-american reservations in ...

   aahh... ok. That might make sense... cause I applied about 3 days before the cut-off as well. My # was in the 3,000s... but that may have been a random number they assigned to us.

    I would be seriously confused if I don't get it... my debt income ratio is just about 200% and I work at a DSH hospital. I thought it was income/debt based?

    Anyone an RN at a DSH with a >150% debt to income ratio still waiting for ANY kind of response?

    CaleyJo- I understand how you want to just have one payment ... that would be much more convenient. However, say for instance you have $20,000 at an interest rate of 6% then you have a $1,000 loan at 5% If you put your loan reimbursement toward that ...

    Nothing yet CTW... do they send out emails everyday or only certain days?

    CaleyJo- Are all of your loans at the same interest rate? Obviously paying off the higher interest ones will save you more money in the long haul if you have some that are higher interest rates than others.
