Nelrp

FYI i've gotten incorrect information from that general HRSA number in the past-i actually called before and they told me it wasn't based on how much you owe it was totally a random draw (which is totally opposite what the NELRP people say). Not being able to get correct info is SO frustrating..!

Okay everyone, so I still have not received a letter. However, I did call HRSA yesterday and spoke with a rep. He also told me they were really behind and some award letters would be recieved after Sept. 30th. He also looked up my info and in so many words made me feel like I got it! So he said to just wait for a letter or I would see a big deposit in my checking account. Well, this morning when I got home I looked at my bank account and had a huge deposit from HRSA!! So I am thinking I got it!!!! I called HRSA and told them I haven't gotten my letter but had a deposit from HRSA treasury in my bank account. He said that only means I have it. He also said check your emails. Some people were going to get an email which I had never heard before. So anyways!! I GOT IT!!! Finally the wait is over!! Sla or anyone else, have you gotten any deposits yet?? Kate:heartbeat:D

Kate,

Congratulations! I am happy for you. Good luck to all the rest, including us (myself/wife) for next year. I am going to make her apply each year until she gets it. We have 70K in debt, and a $700 monthly pymt that has got to go!

Maybe the rest of us will all eventually get it if they keep seeing our names year after year.

I got my deposit in the bank to as well. Everyone check your bank accounts. You may have a nice surprise waiting for you :)

Katie-Congrats! You must be so excited! What number did you call to find out that information? And was there a specific person that you spoke to?

Nothing yet on my side...

Hey I just called the HRSA number and spoke with whoever answered. 1 800 221 9393. Hope that helps!! Kate:heartbeat

Does anyone out there know of any other programs similar to NELRP?

Thanks

Some states have programs on a much smaller scale; in MN, you need to work in very specific areas, though, so it's not really flexible for someone in a hospital setting.

Elizabells-Have you heard anything? And Kmoore-what type of hospital do you work at? Just trying to understand this whole thing...

Nope. But then, I didn't get a phone call either, so whatever. I'm fairly certain that, given that I found out about the whole thing two days before the deadline and scrambled it together, I screwed up the app somehow.

Hey, maybe if I go back to graduate school and get myself in some MORE debt for not much of an increase in salary, my ratio will go up! Sounds good, no? :yeah:

I just called the HRSA call center and the man who answered gave me a pretty reheorificed response when I asked about my status..."They are still sending out the reward and denial letters and you should receive a letter in the next 2 weeks." I asked if he could tell me specifically if I was awarded the loan and he said, "Unfortunately I cannot." No suspicious deposits to my bank account, and now my status on their site has changed from "info received" (or whatever it said that was like that) to "application not yet completed." THAT really bums me out because it looks like they just wiped out my application. How about those of you who got the loan, did your status change yet?
