I got an email yesterday from hrsa indicating it is available. I started the process today. Has anyone been accepted to the nursing program or currently in the nursing program? That's the only hold up for me is the entrance exam and then I will know if I'm accepted. Let's keep posting in this thread on update, help filling out the info., and etc...

I'd also like to know if they have a list of the hospitals with a shortage that you might get sent to and if you have any option of picking somewhere close to home. At the age of 17 (almost 18), it's a little daunting to know I could end up in Puerto Rico, or Guam, or elsewhere.

I don't think they have a list of hospitals that I'm aware of. I believe you could work pretty much anyhere that has a shortage.

You pick the hospital that you work at...it just needs to meet the critical shortage requirement. I think the link tells you how you can find what hospitals qualify. You don't get sent anywhere.... If you can't find anything, let me know and I'll try to do some digging.

I really want to fill out this application, but I was on unemployment last year and so they stated I had an EFC of $3,000. Does anyone know if I would still have a shot at being selected?

I guess technically you would have a shot in the dark, but in reality no. Scholarships are given to those with a zero EFC first, if there is any left, they are given to the ones with the lowest EFC first. But, from what I've read in past threads more people apply with a zero EFC than there are scholarships--so even those who apply with a zero EFC are not gaurunteed to get the scholarship. (Sorry)

I would try going to something like scholarships.com and looking for scholarships you may qualify for--there are so many out there, things you may not even realize. (I recently found out I was eligible for a couple scholarships because I have family that was in the confederate and revolutionary wars.

I hope you find something helpful!
