Agreed. Not to mention, you're only allowed 35 work days off and that includes holidays (if you work in a clinic setting like I do and have holidays off) so that makes only 29 work days. I will add I was able to pay 2 of my smaller loans off, but after the contract is done, I would say about half of my loans would have been paid off.

Hello! Quick question. Those who have finished their service, how long did that process take to be discharged and what documentation they need to discharge you? I'm looking at my portal and it gives me an estimated date and I was told that the date might not be my discharge date, which confused me. I have asked multiple times and no one from there can give me an answer.

Does anyone know why it says "estimated" end date on our portals? Does our service obligation not end on the 2nd year anniversary? I've already reached out to a rep and they were no help.

Hi! I work in QI/Education. I'd like to get back into a clinic or school nursing setting. For those who did admin work as a nurse, was it hard to transition or get hired as clinical again? Would a refresher Nursing course be helpful?

I got my countersignature 9/7 and my welcome email 9/9!

I received my countersignature on 9/7 and got my welcome email. On the dashboard you're able to see the amount you are awarded, monthly payment, and the signed contract. I'm assuming if you received all of those documents, you're a participant and therefore would receive an award.

Thank you!! I just checked and I don't have that yet. ?

Congratulations!!!! I'm still waiting on my counter signature, I signed all of my paperwork on 7/29.

Nice! It does look like a counter signature. Where did you see this at if I may ask?

You are the best for calling, thank you! ?

I am a RN this is my second year applying and I got a credit check in March and an email on July 29th about accepting the award. I am currently waiting for a signature from HRSA? Does anyone know how long that usually takes? BTW I didn't think I would even get an email because my DTI isn't that high, but I did apply for it the minute the cycle opened. YES! I got that email as well. Mine says under final review and waiting on a signature.

Bathed in the fires of hell 3x/week ?

Yeah it is definitely rough right now. I just feel like I'm meant to do something else other than hospital nursing. When I took my community health class, I fell in love with that area of nursing, kinda like thats what I wanted to do. The only reason I didn't focus on applying in that area was because I was so eager to get paid alot and get my foot in the door. But honestly money doesn't even matter to me, I just want to be able to enjoy my nursing career.

Hello! I need some advice. So I currently work as a night RN on a telemetry/designated COVID unit. I've been at my hospital for almost 2 years. I started out as a PCT (doing all shifts) then transitioned into the RN role back in September. I have came to the realization that I just don't know if hospital nursing is for me anymore. I know they say the first year of being a nurse is always hard, but even as an aide I had this feeling it just was not for me. IDK if its the hospital I work at (it's a small hospital) but we are constantly understaffed, have extremely high acuity patients, and since beginning my nursing role, I've been constantly stressed to the point where I just dread going to work. I didn't even get to finish my RN orientation nor have I gotten the support I thought I was going to have when coming off orientation. I have been applying to Drs. Offices, clinics, and schools and I have gotten call backs. I just need some honesty... do I look like an *** leaving after only being an RN for 4 months? I just I never gave myself that time to focus on my own health and well-being but I just feel so bad too (because I'm just that type of person who always puts others first).

I know NICU and PICU are starting interviews next week but I applied for the other ones and still havent heard back from any. Hopefully we hear something back this upcoming week! Ugh, they could've at least notified me that they passed on my app ?
