Hi all! First, I want to say that I am NOT starting this thread to start a war. I am working on my very last assignment for my DNP/FNP (graduating 5/4). 1300 clinical hours were required for graduation and was completed in Peds, Geri, clinical diagno...

Update for those who are tracking. Acceptance email received 7/1/2014 Confirmation email received today 7/31/14! "Dear NURSE Corps LRP Program Participant, Congratulations and welcome to the NURSE Corps Loan Repayment Program (LRP)! The NURSE...

It will say "[email protected]"

Score: 18 Debt to income ratio: 180%

Update! I am a finalist! FYI, I couldn't find an email, I just happened to log in this morning. Good thing I did because I had to accept by 7/5/2014. Good luck friends:-)

Cool! Congrats:-)

I just seen somebody post that they got an email regarding NHSC, but not Nurse Corps. I also work with an NP who applied for NHSC this year so I'll ask her. (She's on vacation in the DR). But she used Nurse Corp loan repayment for undergrad loans so...

What do you mean by finalist? I thought they didn't give any definitive answers until Sept? Just asking... I haven't heard anything yet

Just checking in! Still haven't heard anything

Thanks for the credit karma info! That app is awesome! I am a NP with a HPSA site score of 18 and debt/income ratio of 180%. I saw on credit karma that the "Dept of Heal" checked my credit on March 18th. I'll be praying for my allnurses friends!

Nurse Corp is for nurses, including Advanced practice nurses. NHSC is open to MDs, PAs, dentists, MH and NPs in primary care underserved areas http://hrsa.gov/m/loanrepayment/index.html

I am also playing the waiting game. I applied to HRSA (NHSC) last year and was denied because of a low HRSA score at one of the two sites that I work at. HRSA just recently raised the scores at both of my facilities so now I'm @ 18 and 19 for both s...

Wow... These salaries make me feel like I'm volunteering.

I would also say that I've learned that sometimes, the diagnosis wasn't "missed", it was an incidental finding. I've caught a few alpha thalassemia's when I first started and the MD would always ask me, "ok, what are you gonna do about it?" Although ...

I'm only 10 months into my career and my response may be different as I work in a HRSA site. Would I choose another profession? No. The good thing about being a FNP is you are always a nurse first so I can still moonlight and do RN work for extra ca...

May I ask what your HRSA score is? Mine is 19 and maybe it's too low.

I applied this year. I know the first disbursement should be Sept 30th. But when will they tell me if I'm even approved or not? I keep looking at my app status online and it says "under review" Has anybody heard from them yet?

I am a FNP/DNP and in my experience, you will still be considered a "new grad" whether you have a DNP or not. So, initially, try not to get caught up in the credentials as far as pay goes. Believe me, I memorized the DNP essentials front and back so ...

Addendum for current recommendations: http://www.medpagetoday.com/OBGYN/GeneralOBGYN/38321

Correct... according to this chart. Just went to a conference and was told newer recommendations from ASCCP will be cytology q 5 years.

I agree with the above post. Evidence based practice is the way to go. Current recommendations are also leaning towards Pap smears every 5 years for women >30 yrs of age if she had 3 normal pap smears (strong recommendation). Grade A recommendat...

Not to sound like a tape recorder but as stated above... My advice is to start thing of your area of interest now and work on your Literature Review as soon as you are taught how to do it. Then you won't be anxious and rushing right before graduation...
