HRSA Nurse Corps Loan Repayment 2022

Published

Specializes in NICU.

Hi everyone. Just starting this since I didn't see a thread for this application cycle. I received the NCLRP in 2009 and this is the 3rd time applying in the last 5 years.

NP with DTI ~150% and HPSA 17

Specializes in NICU.

Hoping we hear sooner this year since the application opened and closed earlier than usual!

Specializes in Faculty.

This is my 3rd year applying as a nurse faculty.  I just received my first credit check.  Fingers crossed for good news soon!

They just checked my credit as well. Does that imply they’ve reviewed the application and it is satisfactory?

Finally got a credit check today!

Specializes in Anesthesia.

First time applicant here and I just got my first credit check this past week. CRNA with DTI >200% HPSA 19. Hoping for some good luck for all of us!

Specializes in Anesthesia.

I got a credit check a couple days ago. DTI ~ 125%. How do you know what your HPSA score is?

My first time applying. I found the reference note confusing (paraphrased) “in recent years we have only had funding to award to RNs with DTI ratio >100% and to nurse faculty with DTI <100%.”

What about NPs? My DTI ratio is about 90% so I’m wondering if I have any chance?

— Primary care NP HPSA 14

Specializes in Oncology RN.

Just saw my credit was pulled on 3/18. Hoping that means good things. Cancer research nurse >100 DTI

Try using the HPSA "Find Shortage Area by Address" and then putting in the address of the facility you work at. That was the best way I got a straightforward answer. 

Not sure if it'll post, but here's the link https://data.HRSA.gov/tools/shortage-area/by-address

Not sure what the actual stats are but I know they designate a LOT of funds for NPs. Definitely don't give up hope.

Thanks! This is what I get:

Dental - 8

Mental - 16

Primary - 10

Does it matter which one is higher or does it go by the top score? Sorry, I’m not sure how it all works!
