2017 Nurse Corps Loan Repayment Program

Published

Hi Fellow Nurses!

Is anyone else anxiously awaiting the 2017 cycle opening?

I have applied several times and praying that 2017 is my year. I'm tier 1 - not faculty and not an NP.

Is anyone else out there?

I am a RN nurse faculty Tier 2 and got a credit check at the beginning of May.

I am a NP tier 1, no credit check. Seems as though it's all nurse faculty still. I'm giving up hope í ½í¸© It seems as though this year is so different. I'd feel much better if I would have just had a credit check lol give me an ounce of hope.

So, has anyone who is not nurse faculty had a credit check?

Specializes in MSN, RN, PHN, CPHQ.

It seems like perhaps most of the funding could go to Nursing Faculty. However, there is still time-try to stay hopeful everyone!

Only 20% of the funding will go to nurse faculty. I think perhaps they are just working group by group. Don't lose hope!!

I got a credit check today!!! Isn't it true that last year most (all?) of those who got credit checks ended up getting it, or no? I am an RN at Tier I facility and I think 220% when I checked...

(PS- not faculty or NP)
