RN4KU

Was just about to ask the above question about timeline for this random cycle! I was rejected last October and applied for this cycle, credit check done in March. DTI is >190% RN, but my HPSA score dropped from 19 to 11 this year.

Does anyone have any input on a school that offers a post MSN Clinical Nurse Specialist in Home Health tract? I own a home care agency and by obtining my CNS, I believe this would be a huge assest to my company. I went back for my FNP certification, but covid hit once I was about to start clinical and it gave me time to realize my real passion was home care and home health.

Still listed as Under Review and had 2 credit pulls. I have applied in the past with no credit pull. RN HPSA 18, not sure exact DTI but its high around 180% at this point with interest accruing rapidly. If they would only forgive my interest I would be in a good place! Good luck hope we all hear soon.

Any idea how long after the credit check people were notified? Credit Check 5/28 on Eperian RN HPSA 18 190% DTI Under Review

I just got the same pull 2 days ago, I applied last year and no pull. Still under review.

RN - DTI 180% - 2nd year applying HPSA - 18 Primary Care. I believe it is 18. No credit check Under Review.

RN-HPSA 17, D/I 180%-I applied, my loans did not upload automatically, I did my best to enter manually, but I assume I messed up, likely making me ineligible. The portal shows only my application number at this time. It seems like the past years I applied, I received a credit check by this time. Is this what everyone is seeing?

Thank you for sharing, I feel the exact same way as a Utilization Review nurse. If I knew my work would release me for a LOA I would likely try to find a job with a staffing agency. I have been unable to find guidance from the government if I can be released temporarily and assist with CV-19.

Does your current job allow you to take a LOA to assist during CV-19? I left the bedside also, but I would like to assist with CV-19, my current job as a federal employee is mostly paperwork. I am trying to figure out if there are regulations set allowing me to take a LOA and work for an agency.

Credit karma its free, in the past I saw credco mentioned. but I think its for a motgage refi i did, now that I googled it. I applied last year no check. I had applied 2 years prior and had a check from Credco.

But I am now thinking it was due to a mortgage refinance, but CREDCO was the company I read about last year.

I had multiple checks by Credco, this year, but not last year. But my score decreased to 13 from 17, so I have no hope. RN HPSA 13 I think, D/I 180%. 2nd year in a row applying for NELRP.

At this point I apologize I am not able to keep up with all the requests and I am fearful any retaliation I may face. Anyone is welcome to share what they have and assist, I receive 10-20 requests daily and I no longer feel comfortable, I cant put my job at risk at this time. Good luck to everyone, again I am sorry I really tried to help.

RN D/I 180% - I did get a lot of credit pulls from credco on my transunion and equifax report on 4/8 & 4/15. I thought my HPSA was 17, but when I looked it appears it dropped for some reason to 13, so I do not have much hope. Last year I applied did not get a credit pull, the year before I did and my HPSA was 17. Not sure what my HPSA is really now.

That is really great work you should like you would make an amazing leader in the VA nursing system. I am glad you had those opportunities, some of us can only make changes in our local systems and attempt to promote outside the local facility, due to schedules, but based on who you are boarded by makes a difference. If the board you are sent to has no idea the type of position you are doing, key words are basically all they can go by. I know nurses who work hard, take manager positions, change, and create policies, with no luck. It is not possible for all nurses to travel or afford travel to conferences, travel budgets have been slashed for most. I personally say I already go above and beyond what is expected, compared to many that I work with, I see so many nurses try to create changes and policies, but many of our managers lack true leadership skills. After 8 years leadership, policy development, and education is only viewed as a threat. I am supervised by Associate level Nurse 1 and 2's. Education is highly discouraged, and work volume due to low morale and high turn over prevents many from going above and beyond. It is different for each of us on on our career path. I pray I can find a place my education, experience, and passion is valued and needed in order to better serve the deserving veterans.

If i missed anyone send me a PM or email me to [email protected]. I had to erase my hard drive so I am working to reload all my files I had saved regarding my proficiency.

Sorry I did not get back to many of you until now, just been in the VA rut, trying to find a new career but unfortunately/fortunately unable to find a job anywhere near the pay. I emailed as many as I saw in my PM, its hard to follow because I do not work in an actual VA clinic but in the revenue portion. Please keep us all updated on any wins. An outside company was finally hired to interview nurses about leadership issues, lack of morale, high turn over and basically how we all feel, it was fairly uniform that most nurses felt the same, but we will see what is done, short of a complete management white wash nothing will change.

You are welcome to try, but even in my area, only 4 Nurses in the past 7 years and apparently 2 more last year were promoted even with Master's degree's and management job. It all just depends on which board reviews the proficiency and if they understand your job duties. I was extremely lucky and somehow was promoted, but I am paying for it dearly stuck in a job led by a corrupt and inept group of management. So it is what it is for now. Send me you email and I will send you my proficiency and good luck. So many hard working nurses in this together.

Education Waiver is your best bet .

I am just beginning to look at Air Force Nursing as an option, I have my Master's and half way to my FNP. I work as a nurse at the VA for the past 8 years. I would like to discuss the process, salary, educational opportunities, and potential careers with a recruiter, but I want to ensure I am given the correct information. I have a family and it would be difficult if we had to move around a lot. Any information would be appreciated.

I am an RN who applied last year for the NELRP when I thought my HPSA Score was a 17. This is what I was told what the data warehouse stated, my D/I and HPSA of 17 is fairly high so I thought I had a good chance of receiving the award. I checked now as it is close to the time to apply again and my score is now only a 13, which would essentially eliminate all chances since this places me in Tier 2. My score could have changed between the time I checked in the fall and application time also. Has anyone else had a drop in score? I have sent an inquiry as to the reason and asked for a re-evaluation, but not feeling hopeful now. I just don't understand what changed.

I received my denial a couple days ago, Your overall application status is: Not Selected For Award I was an RN, HPSA 17, D/I 190% Next year here I go!! Good luck and congrats to all.

If you can send me a PM or add your email I will get it to you there are a lot of requests and I do not always see them. I do my best. Email is probably the easiest so I can just click and send.

You were a finalist for the NCLRP twice and did not receive the award after accepting it?

So as of 9/11 RN's are still being notified for the NCLRP? I did not even receive a credit check, last year I applied and had 2 credit checks. RN HPSA 17, D/I 180% about. Little hope left I guess. good luck at least we will know one way or another. congrats to everyone and fingers crossed.
