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?

Mine was just signed yesterday as well, came in my email.

Congratulations!!!

Yay! I was countersigned also, at 2:36pm by JK. :) I am so very thankful!!! I would say that this feeling is worth the 4 years of applying without success. Whew!!! I get married next month, and this award has been a HUGE financial help for our future plans.

pbflash42 - I don't know you but I was extremely happy to see you awarded. I stalked prior threads (as most of us probably have) and saw you were not awarded but to see you stick with it and try again to only get it was incredible. Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials!

Specializes in FNP: Urgent Care & Primary Care; RN: Med-Surg.
I do agree though, if you can't afford a mortgage without getting this program, maybe you need not be buying a house right now..

And unfortunately we won't. But what's wrong with wanting our own home?

There is nothing wrong with wanting your own home! I didn't say that! But maybe you should wait to buy a house.. that's all I was saying

Thanks so much!!! I cannot even begin to explain the devastation I felt over the last 3 years, each time I received an email saying that they were out of funds, & that I would not be receiving an award. This program causes hypertension & depression, lol! 3 years ago I was injured when a patient passed out & took me with her. Every fall since 2014 I've had to have another shoulder surgery to repair the damage. Thankfully, last year the 3rd surgery was the charm & I have full mobility back!! Unfortunately, I did not realize that HR at my facility was showing my yearly income as the same as before my surgery, when really it was surprisingly over $10,000 less, since each year I was out recovering for about 2-3 months. That was a big enough difference to put me at a higher ratio & gave me the chance to get an award! Anyhow, I'm so so thankful that this year it finally worked out. I almost didn't even try again!!! Good luck to everyone else who is still waiting! Don't give up!!!

& thanks about the wedding! I'm super excited & ready to start this new chapter...Thank God it will be almost completely debt free!!!

I just received my Welcome Packet email for the Nurse Corps. I accepted the award on Aug 30, received a co-sign Sept 18, then received the welcome email Sept 19. I am a NP with a DTI of 142% and HRSA score of 16, which comes out to Tier 1. This was my first time applying. Not from a disadvantage background.

Hello everyone! Congratulations to everyone who has received an award! I am a RN, D/I ~200%, HRSA score of 18 - Tier 1. Accepted the award on Aug 30, it was signed on Sept 18, and I just received my welcome packet tonight! I feel very blessed to have this opportunity :) Thank you to everyone who has been posting and sharing their stories/news on here. Wishing you all the best!

I received finalist email aug 17 and acceptance email 2 weeks later. Just received first deposit 9/14

Hi all. My credit score was check back in June, like many of you. My application still says Under Review. Anyone still waiting to hear? I'm not super hopeful but can't believe I haven't been denied yet/been notified.

Thanks.

Yeah, I check every day, mine says UNDER REVIEW. and I've received no emails about anything except to change my password! lol.

Thanks. Its nice to hear that other people are in the same boat. Where are you in the tier system?
