I am interested in applying to the nurse corps scholarship 2017 2018 in order to pay for my accelerated program of sixteen months. I have a bachelors in sociology. I have done quiet a few researches. The application cycle will be open this month but I don't know which exact date. I have read discussion threads of previous years and have found really helpful information. I want to create a platform where interested applicants can ask questions, share information, discuss and help each other.
Could you clarify what you mean about site placement after graduation being more favorable for NURSE Corps? The biggest difference I was aware of between NHSC and NURSE Corps was the tax situation (latter taxed much more heavily, award+stipend, versus the former taxing the stipend only). I am an MSN dual CNM/FNP student and I'm curious about what the other differences might be. I remember being convinced at one point that I could find a placement as either an FNP or CNM with NURSE Corps after graduation, whereas with NHSC I'd be required to work in the discipline I put on my application (CNM).
For context, I applied for NHSC and NURSE Corps. I got credit checks for both. I haven't been notified of finalist status for NHSC (maybe they'll do a second round? hopes aren't high), but today at 10am EST I got a finalist email from NURSE Corps.
Congrats to everyone who got an email! I am reading last years forum and here is some info I learned. Ps Im a MSN NP student. I got a credit check on 7/26 from credco but it doesnt say from nurse corps or anything, but I did not get an email today.
The first rounds of emails went out on July 26 and July 29. After the July 26 round of emails went out (which would be the same as the emails that went out this morning), someone called and they said only 1/3 of recipients got emailed. People in 2016 got emailed again 8/9, 8/12 and all the way until mid september.
If people dont respond in time or dont sign the contract then more emails will go out. So there will be more rounds.
Also, It seemed like there was a pattern of the application portal being shut down the night before emails went out
I know it sucks to wait, but there is STILL SO MUCH HOPE. Stay positive, we got this!
I'm a CNM/FNP student as well. I'm shocked that I did not receive a finalist email for either My stats are near perfect.
Don't give up. Technically it's not over until September 30. I saw someone get an email in last years thread a couple of days before the deadline or early September. And I know that's easier said than done but don't give up. Maybe they do it in waves for the purposes of site traffic or they just stagger it because there's 200 finalist or so.
I am a BSN student and got a credco credit check July 24th but have not gotten an email. Does anyone know how common it is to receive a hard credit check and not get the scholarship? Also, thank you jenner302 for keeping my hope alive! So nervous!!
I got a letter this morning too! (This is the first time I discovered this thread FYI). I'm just alittle confused as far the W-4 form. So the employer would be HRSA?
My stats are near perfect.
