2. Nurse Corps Loan Repayment 2016 Cycle

   riaeg replied to tjones57's topic in General Nursing

   I received loan repayment back in 2010 as a new NP graduate with a score of 12 (it wasn't nearly as competitive like it is now). Graduated with my doctorate last year and applied again this year at a new location.

4. Nurse Corps Loan Repayment 2016 Cycle

   riaeg replied to tjones57's topic in General Nursing

   I am a NP. I did not apply for Nurse Corps. Only NHSC loan repayment. From what I have gathered watching others' comments, for this program I think they strictly go by HPSA score. My site has score of 16. I have been following this board because it s...

   Honestly, I think they must go by region as my coworkers in other locations got notification at same time I did today. We have been staying in contact and stalking the portal. LOL

7. Nurse Corps Loan Repayment 2016 Cycle

   riaeg replied to tjones57's topic in General Nursing

   Is there anyone on here that applied for NHSC only and received notification? I know that isn't what this board is for, but it is the only one I seem to find any information:) I haven't even seen any credit check on mine, but it seems most people tha...

   Did they apply for same program that you did robjoe99? Just curious....

9. So much for DNP being clinical doctorate

   riaeg replied to CraigB-RN's topic in Doctoral

   For me, when I finished my Master's, I went ahead and finished my DNP as I had it in my mind that at some point they might try to require it and I am aging as we speak. Didn't want to go back later in my life when I was tired and trying to slow down....

10. ARIZONA NPs!

    riaeg replied to kj954's topic in Doctoral

    I have my DNP and still feel funny when people use the term "Dr." when addressing me. When they do, I make it a point to make sure they know I have a "doctorate" in nursing. Wish I didn't feel this way, but it still happens:) I also think some patien...

11. Is it worth it?

    riaeg replied to Acmnurse's topic in Doctoral

    If becoming a NP is your passion, then by all means yes it is worth it. I was in same dilemma years ago while working in the hospital. My employer wanted me to change the certification area from acute care to family nurse practitioner, since it was m...

12. Tattoos?

    riaeg replied to heronurse's topic in Professionalism

    I have worked with lots of people in the hospital who had tattoos. At one time, they were made to cover them completely and now it seems they are a little more visible. I have nurses in clinic with them, most of the time pts don't object. A few years...

    riaeg replied to tjones57's topic in General Nursing

    Believe me, I have all kinds of scenarios going on in my head as well. My first experience with this was 6 years ago when I first starting working with under-served patients. I applied in February and they started asking for banking information, copy...

14. How should the "I quit" conversation go?

    riaeg replied to abouttimeRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is funny. Obviously I am old enough that I didn't even consider someone might not understand the term "broken record."

    riaeg replied to tjones57's topic in General Nursing

    Just wondering if anyone knows of a site that lists each state that has some sort of loan repayment programs? I tried looking for this in various ways today and all I could find took me back to a HRSA page:)
