Nurse Corps loan repayment 2015

Published

Hi everyone,

I am currently working on the application for the nurse corps repayment program 2015 and I need some help from someone who has also done this process before.

My question is in regards to the documents you have to upload:

1# Authorization to Release Information, Authorization to Release Employment Information- Do you print these off, sign, scan, and then upload to the site?

2# Curriculum Vitae/Resume- is this just a basic resume stating your current position you hold, and do you address it to the Nurse Corps??

3# Finally, proof of citizenship can I just scan my drivers license and then upload it to the application???

I would appreciate all insight please, I want to make sure I get this right the first time. Thanks ahead of time for looking I really do appreciate it.

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to say that I received my finalist email this evening as well! I work in a tier one clinic with a debt to ratio 187%. I also just have my BSN. My last name starts with a L. Finally I am so relieved!

There is still hope! Good luck to everyone else!

Specializes in ER.

Received My finalist email this evening also:) so excited what a blessing. Debt to income above 200% probably close to 300% with a tier one I am a MSN RN who works in the ER as a staff RN. So excited this is Life changing for me and allows me the chance to live again without this burden on my back. Every nurse deserves loan forgiveness for all we do everyday. good luck everyone

For all those that have received your finalist award notification, did you just electronically sign the contract? Did you do anything else besides this and entering your bank info? Yesterday was an adrenaline rush kind of day at work followed by this exciting news. I want to make sure I did not miss anything. Thanks for the help!

And more good luck to all you out there still waiting!!

I received my finalist email yesterday 7/30/15. I applied for the loan forgiveness program.. This is my first time applying . I am a RN BSN working in a tier 1 hospital.. Debt to salary ratio is greater than 200. Good luck to every one!

For those of you who have been awarded, you are talking about the nurse corp loan repayment program and not the scholarship program, correct?

Yes, the loan repayment program. Congrats to everyone who has heard and good luck to everyone else! How exciting :)

Still waiting to hear if I got it or not. :(

Will we still get notified if we don't get it? I Just would like to know when to stop worrying 😔

I got the email on 7/28 stating that I was a finalist. Confirmed my place of employment, gave bank account info, and signed a contract! I'm wondering if anyone has ever made it to this step and not been awarded. Im anxious. More anxious now than what I was before I got to this step. I applied last year and got denied. My facility just moved to a part of town where no one has transportation to get places (we moved to obviously help our patients) but it bumped me into tier 1 and I have a student debt to income ratio of 287% :-/ I hope everyone else starts hearing more good news!

NeffRN, when you applied last year and didn't get it were you told you didn't get it. I'm starting to lose hope and want to know if I will find out if I didn't get it so I can't stop stressing and checking every 5 minutes lol. Thanks

Nevermind! figured out the answer to my own question!

Still very anxiously waiting!

For all of you that are listing what tier your facility is classified as, where do you find this information? My facility has a HPSA score of 19, but no where on the page do I see what tier they classify as.

I am using this link to find my facility in which I input the address: HRSA - Find Shortage Areas: HPSA & MUA/P by Address - Version 2.0

My facility replied to my employment confirmation that they are a Critical Shortage Facility as well.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Are there any other nursing faculty members out there who applied for the Nurse Corp Loan Repayment Program? If so, have you heard anything yet? Just curious :)
