OK thanks! What about taxes? I said single and claiming 0. They’re deducting $220 a month for taxes. Do I need to pay the difference? Will I end up paying more income taxes next year?

Yes. That’s what I planned on doing. It does look like some taxes were deducted from the loan because my deposit was less than what the worksheet said it would be. In the contract it says, “No portion of the Nurse Corps LRP payments made directly to the Applicant shall be used to pay taxes due to Federal, State, or local authorities.” That doesn’t mean I need to make up the $200 difference from what the worksheet said I would be getting, correct?

Does it matter if we pay one qualified loan at a time or does the money need to be decided up amongst all qualified loans?

I would like to talk to someone who has already been in this program for a while or is done with it. I cannot attend the webinar and I would like to know what some of the rules are for this program. Thanks!

I won’t be able to watch the webinar because I’ll be working. Does anyone know where I can get this information from HRSA that will be shown on the webinar Tuesday? Yes. Check your messages. ?

The pdf guide says you can after award is finalized if you’re going to a csf with the same or greater needs.

Yay! Did they email you a notification when you got the co signature?

Ah OK. But you can change jobs after your contract is finalized, correct?

When did you get your offer? Why did you need to decline the LRP offer? Would they not let you take the award at your new job?

Anyone have any updates?

Is base pay before or after taxes?

No I haven't yet! I've been asking around and Ive heard St. Mary's RN's make more than Spectrum RN's hourly. I've also heard they have less patients. Please let me know if you find anything out! :)

Thanks for the feedback! Where do you work now? I've never been one to push for more pay, but I think asking for what I make now is reasonable.

Hi there, I'm planning to move to Grand Rapids within the next year. I have almost 4 years experience on a med-surg unit and I have my BSN. I'd like to know which hospitals you recommend in the GR area. I'm open to trying different units. I would like to go somewhere that has similar wages ($32/hr + 8% night shift differential) and benefits. I'm open to all RN job suggestions, but when it comes down to it, i'd prefer to be in a hospital to stay on night shift. Thanks in advanced! :)

Just wondering - how is Riverside? Do you like it?
