I'm sure some people have but I'm just making the assumption that those who receive denial letters probably aren't reading/searching this forum. I think most denial letters come a few weeks before and...
This is on page 25 of the Nurse Corps guidance document. I would contact them regarding the geographical area because I'm in Montana where it's super rural and I'm seeing the geographical areas too. I...
You're good! It's confusing haha but I think this thread is mainly geared towards the scholarship program, not loan repayment. For the loan repayment, you should probably apply after school ends....
You wait 3-4 weeks until a secretary from DPHHS signs your contract and you get an email telling you that you're a participant! They will also reach out to you if they need more information regarding...
Just plugging this year's finalist facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/524001492228233
It's super nice to put a face with a name and we can ask questions during this exciting...
You will get a signature from the secretary on your contract and then receive a participant email. It will probably happen 3-4 weeks after you turn in your finalist
Fundamentals is your Nursing 101 basic course. After you take this course, you have the skills to be a CNA. I agree with what has been said above. Try not to worry about it too much! If you know your...
I'm really sorry to hear this! This scholarship is probably a once-in-a-lifetime event! Please don't take this the wrong way because I completely understand that some people get into nursing school...
I think you can get a department chair to sign off. Also the registrar's office or financial aid. Nobody has had issues with their nursing chair signing off that I know of. At least I haven't had any...
You might want to check last year's thread to see for sure unless someone here can give you feedback. I'm assuming there might be a few who did in the past because the credit check isn't a "guarantee"...
Woohoo! Congrats! I think you only fill out the Summer forms if you had classes in the Summer so HRSA can backpay you. Otherwise just have your school fill out the fall. Definitely get them filled out...
I'm in Montana and currently work at a hospital but the only HRSA approved sites are clinics which I'm totally OK with! Luckily I have connections within the hospital I work at where I could easily...
You would definitely be able to work at a hospital! I can't speak for California because I'm sure lots of people want to work there due to high wages. I think everywhere is in need of staffing...
I don't think they will allow that. It is also not "career suicide" if you are helping less fortunate individuals. In my opinion, it will be nicer to start out at a clinic setting and slowly learn...
Everyone struggles in one way or another. We are all worthy applicants who are in need in some way. Some people will always be stronger in some areas than others. It's going to be interesting to see...
The previous years received signatures from the secretary about 3-4 weeks after signing their contracts with no notifications. Just keep checking your contract for a signature in the secratary spot!...
"FW: Nurse Corps Scholarship Program: COI" I got it about a day after the first email from noreplyHRSA. Weird that some people got both and other people
Don't count yourself out yet! The next round of people will occur after August 26th because I'm sure people will decline their offer and it will move down. The fiscal year ends September 30th so...
Question for finalists: Does anyone know if the Verification forms require the school seal? My nursing dept chair is working remotely and doesn't have the seal available. I saw in last year's that it...
I created a facebook group for the finalists if you guys wish to join! I saw last year's cohort did this so I thought it might be helpful for this year ?...
Confirmation of interest email. I was sent two emails: one from generic "noreplyHRSA" email and one from a DPHHS HRSA representative (I got it from (MODERATOR EDIT OF
I just got a finalist email on 8/19 and a COI finalist email on 8/20!! I think they did a credit check in the beginning of August. Although I'm not sure because I was applying for a student loan at...
