NELRP 2013 - Who else applied?

[mschyckrn]

This is my first year applying for the NELRP but I have known about it for about 3 years, I just recently got a job at a facility they recognize. I was wondering if anyone here has applied before and is the process really as long as I have been reading on past threads? Oh, and do they tell you why you don't get it if you get denied? I'm just a little nervous because I need this help greatly!

How do you know what tier you facility is rated?

[Chro31]

go to HRSA - Find Shortage Areas: HPSA & MUA/P by Address - Version 2.0 to figure out your HPSA score..

Then go to page http://www.hrsa.gov/loanscholarships/repayment/nursing/guidance.pdf to see wht tier you are in.. I think its on page 12

Has anyone heard anything about the loans????

So I went to check my status today, see if the ellusive credit check was somewhere on my application and now I log on and it says,

"The 2013 NELRP application is now closed and no changes can be made to your application."

I havent checked it in a while but this seems like a very ominous sign.

Anyone else seen this/have this?

Mine just says under review

[AmyWynn]

My says under Final review and they have asked me for my checking routing number. I am getting so excited sat we have to September before final review is over. Oh please Oh please let this be a positive sign. It will help me out tremendously. When I decided to make this career advancement to help my family out financially I did not take in consideration that if I have to pay the extra money to loans that I would not be increasing my pay in the long run. This will be such a burden lifted from my shoulders and make this career even more pleasant. I love working with my patients but the financial burden makes it a drag. Good luck to everyone !!!!

What's the highest possible HPSA score? I'm looking to apply next year and I think my facility is a 17.

Where does it say "under final review" and how did they ask for a routing number? I am hoping I will be selected, but my application still only says "under review". Has anyone else heard anything?

[jojo8064]

Amy... When did you get your email? And when did your status change to final review? That is so exciting congrats!!

[mjsacnp]

Yes- Amy- when did you get your email? A friend of mine who was awarded last year got the same email as you and she definitley got the award! Congrats! I am on pins and needles hoping to hear. I am nursing faculty- are you faculty or an NP?

[Chro31]

Amy... I got awarded last year and received that same email u got. This is very, very good news for you. It's not a guarantee but I don't remember anyone from last year who got the email that was not awarded.
