   That's a great idea! I'm particularly interested in how to prep for the tax hit.....we get taxed again? I thought taxes were already taken out. I'm so confused. My brain needs time to heal after getting "NELRPed".

   BevRN replied to nurse79's topic in General Students

   NELRP help, I wanted to thank you again for being a ray of light after such a dark and gloomy process. I've taken great pride in telling my freshly graduated coworkers how the NELRP program may be changing for the good, and becoming more user fri...

   Mallz- just make a whole bunch of random posts either on this blog, or others to make the 15 posts. That's what I did. And NELRP help did too!

   Ha!! NELRP!!! You're a nut! It worked though, didn't it? I ended up posting lots of "way to gos" and " I hear ya" on other blogs I half read. Nothing wrong with a few insincere voices of encouragement to get where I want to be.

   I was a vet tech for 15 years before going into "human" nursing. Can't help it, but the furry patients are still my favorite!

6. orientation for fresh hearts

   BevRN replied to tachy's topic in CCU

   I'm hoping to obtain a position in the CTIC (similar to your unit) after 2 years on cardiac step down. It sounds like I maybe in the same boat as you. You'll have to let us know how you progress!!! I'm nervous even at the thought of having that fi...

7. New RN off of orientation and stressed out!!!!!

   BevRN replied to RN6157's topic in New Nurse

   It will get better, and better, and better. I promise. I almost quit 10 times the first month off orientation on a cardiac ICU step down unit. Now, a year and a half later, I've got it down and ready to move on. You'll see, within 6 months you'll...

   BevRN replied to nurse79's topic in General Students

   NELRP help, I came home to an empty mailbox today. Sigh. I was sent "the email" on 8/2 which seems like it was the 2nd wave of notifications. Does this have any correlation with my chances of funding? Is there still hope for the 2nd round of a...

    It was one the infamous possible recipient letters from the gold team, complete with the contract and banking info. It's hard to believe they'd get this far with each of our applications only to deny us in the end. Then again, it is the federal gov...

    BevRN replied to nurse79's topic in General Students

    I received an email, from the gold team, during what must have been the 2nd wave (around 8/4). Those of you that have had contact with your reps from HRSA....did they contact you first? I'm not sure what I'm waiting for first. An email from my rep...

    BevRN replied to nurse79's topic in General Students

    I'm starting to feel like I'm experiencing each stage of the grief process during this hrsa/nelrp ordeal. I've gotten through anger, denial and bargaining already and its not even July. Hrsa itself is obviously not a reliable source of info. We wil...

    BevRN replied to nurse79's topic in General Students

    It was a conference call to obtain the payoff dates....not sure if they do it only if they have questions or not. They seem like an elusive group, they can't seem to answer any questions directly. The woman I spoke with admitted that she was "new" ...
