Hi everyone,
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.
Thanks
Funding for Tier 1 is prioritized:
1. Applicants enrolled or accepted for enrollment in an accredited diploma, undergraduate
nursing program or accredited NURSE Corps Scholarship Program graduate level nurse
practitioner program as defined on page 6, registered as full-time students for every
consecutive term.
Do you think a MSN-RN program falls under this tier?
Thanks!
Are you getting your RN with your MSN? If so the answer is no. RN degrees that are ADN and BSN are first tier. Master's level NP's are also first tier. I don't think DNP has been added to first tier yet.

Radnurse1927, Mine are also in the 500 word range. During the first conference call, the director of the program said that it doesn't matter how long they are; when the caller pressed him he he said that they aren't picky about the length of the essays (which is good, since they gave conflicting information!)
