Is there already a thread for RNs waiting to hear about awards from the Nursing Education Loan Repayment Program?
When I search, I can only find previous year's threads.
From reading this, I gather that nurse midwives and CRNAs are grouped with RNs, and NPs are in their own category.

NELRP is administered by the Bureau of Clinician Recruitment and Service (BCRS) in the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The purpose of NELRP is to assist in the recruitment and retention of professional registered nurses (RNs), including advanced practice registered nurses (i.e., nurse practitioners, certified registered nurse anesthetist, certified nurse midwives, clinical nurse specialists), dedicated to working in health care facilities with a critical shortage of nurses or working as nurse faculty at an eligible school of nursing, by decreasing the financial barriers associated with pursuing a nursing profession.
well, all are advanced practice nurses, i guess the focus would be if they are involved in family practice or mental health???? i really don't know the right answer to that but i know they have applied but don't know the outcome?
