1. VA Nurse Pay Scales

   CBreezyRN replied to kristykat's topic in Government

   I am struggling a little to decipher the pay as well. Currently working on obtaining a position - part time 0.2 - in FL. I have my BSN and 3.5 yrs of nursing experience. I understand I am a Nurse II, but beyond that do not know what I would be to try...

   For those of you who posted they received the award recently, could you share program and info (DTI, score)? I'm more and more defeated everyday when I see I haven't received anything ? Thanks, and congrats to all of you!!!!

   When I logged in this morning to check on my status (still under review, WAHHHH), it stated the system will be down for maintenance on Saturday from 0800-1700. Last time something like this posted, another user on here suggested that it meant in prev...

   Mine says under review. Never got selected and rescinded. That’s absolute ***. I’m so sorry. I’m hoping they aren’t all done and that it changes for the better.

   I know, I think about the same things. However, I did see someone else post that they will continue to send awards and that she received an award 2 days before the actual last day they would tell us (last year). I also saw a poster say they didn't ge...

   My apologies, I can't say with 100% certainty it was for the NCLRP. I did see a staff nurse who got the finalist email with a DTI of 175. Maybe I saw the NHSC and misunderstood for the FNP.

   To figure DTI, are you just doing base salary and student loan balance? I'm curious as well to what the DTIs are that have received awards from the Nurse Corps Loan Repayment. Those few I have seen get an award were definitely Tier 1 based on the sco...

   YAY! Is it a set amount overall or a monthly payment you are referring to as low? I have never received an award before (still under review, BOO) but I thought they looked at eligible student loans and based it on that.

   I think how it works is they start with Tier 1, and then once in the tier they look at highest to lowest DTI in that tier. Then if there is award money remaining, the move on to next tier and do the same.

    DTI is determined by your student loan debt divided by your base annual salary. Your tier is determined by facility score and DTI. The breakdown on what gets you in what tier is in the handbook for the application. Tier 1 is DTI >100% and site sco...

    SAME! Credit check in end of May, still under review. I'm not sure how to know if they did an employment verification other than I know about the initial one when I applied. Tier 1, DTI >100%, Score 17. It's killing me! LOL Good luck to all.

    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 too am waiting anxiously to see if I get that email. Dumb question, but how did you know they did an employment verification? Or are we just talking about the initial one we did when we applied? I am also curious about the income/DTI question. Cong...

    So far I have had only one credit check at end of May, and nothing since ? I'm still holding out hope but its looking bleak. Best of luck to everyone!
