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?

So, they have only sent awards to nurse Faculty and have until 9/30/17 to send out all awards? Although this is my first year applying (and I am trying to be optimistic) something seems odd about all of this. Hopefully, they are moving in batches and are just a bit slow this year. With the budget for this program being cut by 60% for next year. 2018 does not seem to be very promising. Fingers crossed for everyone that this is the year!
My Stats:
Credit check in June
RN at a CHC
Tier 1 facility
DTI 242%
AnaLong, BSN, MSN, APRN, NP

Crunchtime is here.
Is it possible then that they are only awarding nurse faculty this year?

No, I don't believe so. If you look in the application it lays out how the funding is spread out.

Nah. I think they are really behind this year. They were still doing credit checks into early June. Based on previous boards that's 1.5 to 2 months later than usual. I bet in the next week or two we start seeing awards left and right.

Still obsessively watching my e-mail, nurse corps, and this board. Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst at this point.

I called yesterday and I was told that applications are still under review until September 30th. A little less than 2 months of anxiety left í ½í¸“í ½í¸¢

Under review still - Not a word I am an RN working at a VA with MH score of 17, my D/I is higher this year because I returned to school to finish my FNP Certificate, so its about 160%, I received a credit check in April. I have pretty much lost hope again, but this is odd that very few have been notified.
I had to wait until Sept 30th last year to get my denial email, but this year my D/I is a little higher with new loans and no increase in pay, but I think i forgot a transcript I took 1 class at Tennessee state and realize the school was not good so I changed programs, and dropped the class. So not sure if that will cause me to miss out.
