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?

In the 4 years that I have applied, I have never seen such a huge delay in awards being granted. This is the first year that I have received a credit check (6/5), and I'm starting to feel like that won't even matter.

So am I understanding correctly that the only people who have heard, were applicants in the other program? Not the Nurse Corp Loan Repayment Program? I wonder why no one has heard anything in this program??? I'm trying not to have thoughts of impending doom, but... :(

D/I - 141%

Site score- 16

Ugh...I wish SOMEONE could update us!!!

Mine was through Nurse Corps LRP. I got my notification that I'm a finalist July 3. I'm nurse faculty.

So the only people who have found out so far are Nurse Corps Nurse Faculty (their credit checks were done earlier than NPs), and NHSC LRP, NOT NurseCorps NPs or RNs. So we can all still have hope, they're clearly doing it in batches like they did the credit checks.

I do recall mention of Trump eliminating loan repayment programs except those targeting faculty, however nothing has been passed, and it wouldn't apply to this year, unless he's directed agencies to hold loan repayment for non-faculty. I'm not sure he can do that if it's established by legislation, and further we know an NP in the NHSC was awarded, so I don't think that's the case.

I think we can all keep hoping.

Budget is almost identical to last yr for this prgram. We are good for this yr.

Still waiting as well. Staff RN, Tier 1, Ratio 158%, credit check 6/5/17 CREDCO. Still states "Under Review". However, if I don't get in this year, I will apply again as an NP in 2018 because I just finished/graduated NP school.

Impeachment is imminent for this clown.
