2017 Nurse Corps Loan Repayment Program

Published

UPDATE: Changes: New Log In Requirement

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?

Can you speak to how the state/federal taxes work for the reward? I've heard that since the money is taxed, it's not really 85% loan repayment. I'd be happy with whatever, but just wanted to know how you handled the tax burden.

Basically what CrnaTX said. The way I handle it is as if I had a second paycheck. Taxes are taken out right away so you don't have to worry about anything. Then when tax season comes you'll get a w-2 in the mail just like any other job. Hope this helps.

I did receive email notification and only have until 7-7 to submit acceptance. And I finalized my application one day before the due date.

Argh! I'm a wreck now checking my email every hour. I even broke down and called HRSA to see if I could find out anything. The gentleman I spoke to couldn't even confirm whether or not they notify applicants by group (NF, NP, etc.). And his parting words were, "You will be notified between now and September 30th." Keeping my fingers crossed!

NF/DTI 140%/Tier 2

I am in the same boat as you, elbinpdx! The whole process is frustrating enough, but then on top of that, once you receive a finalist email, you only have days in which to accept. It's terrifying to think that you may miss your opportunity if you miss that email!!!

***Fingers crossed***
