2017 Nurse Corps Loan Repayment Program

[emmiecb]

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?

[RN4KU]

Nope when I applied last year I had one in early April.

No credit check yet. Hope something pops up soon

Any credit checks yet??? I have been checking... Nothing yet

[dxb53]

Nothing yet for me either.

So am I understanding this correctly....if you do NOT get a credit check you will NOT be accepted?

I just checked...no credit check yet.

From previous years it would appear a credit check is needed to even qualify for the award. Obviously not everyone gets on this page, but it seems if you don't have a credit check you don't make it past the 1st round, I have not had a credit check. I had one last year in early April. Who knows. It seems a credit check is done on everyone that qualifies initially. Not sure what the credit report is verifying other than federal debt.

Maybe they are waiting to see whats going to happen with the federal budget tomorrow

No credit check here either. The wait continues.

Payment history is a big part of your credit score. I believe one of the eligibility requirements was for your student loans to be in "Good Standing". They also show up in your credit report, hence the reason for the credit check.

Nothing yet .... gosssshhhh (this is almost as bad as waiting to here from the BON on if you passed /fail the NCLEX) lol

[jwalla20]

Yes...... A credit check would be nice. Lol.

Think I'm gonna call to see
