2019 Nurse Corps Loan Repayment Program

Published

Hi Everyone,

I didn't see a thread created for the 2019 Nurse Corps Loan Repayment Program yet. This will be my 3rd year applying. I'm applying as a staff RN with a HPSA score of 17. Hopefully, they open the application cycle soon.

Hello everyone,

I was in your shoes last year and was chosen a few days before the deadline. Keep your hopes up. It was my fourth year applying. I wanted to share some insight with you guys. My DTI was 121 and my hospital score was 16. Most of debt was private (sallie mae and Navient). My coworker and I both were selected, the other day we had a lunch date and she expressed that she hasnt seen much of an improvement in her loan debt and I was surprised because I have. The dfference is she stopped making the monthly payments she was sending before the grant and I used the grant to supplement what I was paying monthly.

I just wanted to share this, so that some of you won't make the same mistake that she did. Also, if you do not get it this year - keep applying! Do not lose hope. The first year is the hardest to apply becuase you have to gather so many documents. After the first year, make a folder with all the stuff you submitted and the following year it will take you about 30 minutes. Good luck!

Thank you for this! I have been patiently waiting to hear (2nd year applying) and the end wait is killing me. I was starting to lose hope seeing others already got their e-mails. I'll keep the hope alive!

I am going crazy with the wait.

Well I just think, all it took was some time and effort to apply, so if we get it, great! But if not, we're no worse off than we were before. But dang, I want and need this! ?
