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 would manually upload them to be safe.

If your facility has a high Mental Health score does that make it a CSF? Curious to know. Thanks!

RN Tier 1 HPSA for MH 17 D/I 160% ish. I work for the Department of Veterans Affairs. 2nd time applying. I was able to automatically transfer my loans this year last year i had to manually enter them, and I could have messed up.

So I assume RN's only get 30% of the money. Based on this below not much chance for me, so I am just going to not dwell on it and wait until summer time. I don't know if I am DSH or CSF. I am obviously a CSF as I have a MH score, but i don't know if that means that only 15% of the money is allocated for me, or if I am also a CSF and DSH, crazy to me.

Funding for the FY 2017 NURSE Corps LRP will be allocated as follows: Up to 50 percent will be made available for NPs.

 Up to 20 percent will be made available for nurse faculty.

Among the remaining 30 percent of NURSE Corps LRP funding:


  •  Up to 15 percent will be made available for Base applicants (RNs and APRNs, excluding NPs)
    working at DSHs or public hospitals.
  •  Up to 15 percent will be made available for Base applicants (RNs and APRNs, excluding NPs)
    working at all other types of CSFs.

Thank you! I actually called them and they said the system would automatically remove any that didn't apply to the correct time period. I guess as far as the extra class, I'll just have to take my chances. I took prerequisites that would apply to two different nursing programs each having different requirements because the one I really wanted is extremely competitive. Thank goodness I was accepted to both and got in the one I wanted. That does however mean that there are a few that did not directly apply to the one I chose. Idk how they will handle that??

Resubmitted last night after catching an error. Vigilance. Time is almost up!

Yeah I also had to resubmit. My school changed the name after I graduated. So my transcripts say the old name and the loan documents uploaded the new name. Glad I caught it ...1 week prior...the school had to provide a letter with the official dates and such. Good luck to,everyone. Now is the waiting game :(

I believe they all change to under review after the deadline. Good luck!

Thank you! I'm so thankful that I have a passion for Nursing because I'd be tempted to give my degrees back to knock out my student loans! :D...I'm just kidding...kind of.

Luckily, my D/I ratio just increased to 145% because I was out part of last year after a shoulder surgery and made less money. Hopefully, that will put me in a good place to finally receive this wonderful offer. We shall see. Good luck to everyone!!!

I was out for part of last year after having a baby, and thought my D/I ratio would increase... however, when I looked at my submitted application, my employer POC input my standard yearly pay on my employment verification, not subtracting the 3 months I was out without pay. Super bummed, I was hoping that would give me a leg up.

Does anyone know the earliest we'd hear if we made the cut? I am feeling so impatient!

Last year, I believe people began hearing around July that they HAD received an offer. I don't think they actually tell you you HAVEN'T made the cut until whatever the date is in the info packet (September? October?).

I know last year some people had their credit checked in April which was an indicator you were still being considered for the award.

Specializes in FNP: Urgent Care & Primary Care; RN: Med-Surg.

This is my first year applying as an NP. I applied and submitted the first day then realized I made a mistake a couple of days before the deadline and had to resubmit. I'm afraid because other posts seem to think it's first come first serve, but I sent in an email and they stated that they review them all before making awards. I'm just anxious! I really need some help. My score is 17 I think and a ratio of 180%!
