Sent you a PM. I had researched that extensively before returning for mine:)

I received loan repayment back in 2010 as a new NP graduate with a score of 12 (it wasn't nearly as competitive like it is now). Graduated with my doctorate last year and applied again this year at a new location.

I am a NP. I did not apply for Nurse Corps. Only NHSC loan repayment. From what I have gathered watching others' comments, for this program I think they strictly go by HPSA score. My site has score of 16. I have been following this board because it s...

Honestly, I think they must go by region as my coworkers in other locations got notification at same time I did today. We have been staying in contact and stalking the portal. LOL

I had given up. Just got finalist email today at noon. Finally! Don't give up hope yet!

Is there anyone on here that applied for NHSC only and received notification? I know that isn't what this board is for, but it is the only one I seem to find any information:) I haven't even seen any credit check on mine, but it seems most people tha...

Did they apply for same program that you did robjoe99? Just curious....

For me, when I finished my Master's, I went ahead and finished my DNP as I had it in my mind that at some point they might try to require it and I am aging as we speak. Didn't want to go back later in my life when I was tired and trying to slow down....

I have my DNP and still feel funny when people use the term "Dr." when addressing me. When they do, I make it a point to make sure they know I have a "doctorate" in nursing. Wish I didn't feel this way, but it still happens:) I also think some patien...

If becoming a NP is your passion, then by all means yes it is worth it. I was in same dilemma years ago while working in the hospital. My employer wanted me to change the certification area from acute care to family nurse practitioner, since it was m...

I have worked with lots of people in the hospital who had tattoos. At one time, they were made to cover them completely and now it seems they are a little more visible. I have nurses in clinic with them, most of the time pts don't object. A few years...

Believe me, I have all kinds of scenarios going on in my head as well. My first experience with this was 6 years ago when I first starting working with under-served patients. I applied in February and they started asking for banking information, copy...

This is funny. Obviously I am old enough that I didn't even consider someone might not understand the term "broken record."

Just wondering if anyone knows of a site that lists each state that has some sort of loan repayment programs? I tried looking for this in various ways today and all I could find took me back to a HRSA page:)

NicNp did you apply as Nurse Corp or NHSC? I know what the title is of this thread, but after searching various places, this seems to be the only one that is actively discussing. I am employed at clinic with same HPSA score. I didn't even think of th...

It really just depends on your employer. When I was LPN and went back for RN diploma, the hospital initially gave me 25 cents per hr more than new grad RNs for having LPN. Then about 1-2 mo later, they took back their quarter as they said policy said...

I used to be glued to TV when ER was on, like 1st or 2nd season. Then I got too involved in RN program to have time to watch TV. I have never watched Grey's Anatomy. But, I can relate to laughing when they shock flat line. My husband seems to think I...

I feel like I am stalking my email waiting for news. LOL

I think your employer would appreciate honesty and adequate notice. Certainly don't burn any bridges as you never know what could happen in the future. Just state that you appreciate the opportunity and experience you were given as a new nurse and th...

This was supposed to reply to PhillyFNP, but as we can see, I have to learn how to use this site all over again:)

I am just wondering if you applied to Nurse Corp or NHSC? I haven't used this site in quite a while and don't know how to send PM. LOL. I applied to NHSC the same day it opened and haven't received any credit check or emails of any update. This would...

I have researched this same issue several times as I am in the same type of situation. I did find two schools, one in N. Carolina and one in California, that allowed a part-time option to attend their CRNA programs. I have interviewed for two other...
