I really advise everyone to look at the HPSA scores for facilities in your area/ or where you would be willing to move. It is much more limiting than you expect. I live in a very big city, and expected more opportunities, but that was not the case. I...

Congrats to the recipients this year. I am a past scholarship recipient and I remember how overwhelming this is.

Ah ok- I see now. That makes more sense! Sorry about that. Yes def try and see if there is a better opportunity once you have passed the NCLEX-RN. Sounds like this place is not going to be the best fit for your future.

Since you have not yet taken the NCLEX, you are not a nurse and shouldn't legally have any nursing duties. You aren't a nurse.

Woo! Stipend and ORC!

I missed it too. I have class today. So please share if they said anything exciting.

I went to the bursar's office with my paperwork around Sept. 20th...and they sent the info to HRSA on the 24th. HRSA posted the money to my school on the 26th. I feel really silly because I hadn't even followed up on it- I did not expect them to re...

Just to let everyone know, I got my refund check today from my school for tuition from this semester. I am going Monday to talk to my school to find out how to go about paying back and canceling my loans. I am super happy this part of the process has...

That seems to make alot of sense based on the bits of info we have all gotten. That being said, I think we are all kinda hoping that the ORC was more individualized. Who knows what our schools sent! I have a feeling alot of us spent more than what ma...

@kpnh10: I am not positive, but you can try that 'ask a question' feature on the portal and ask to speak with your representative. I sent a question through there and received a reply from my rep. I think the people who field those questions hav...

Disturbing!!! Thank you for solving the ORC mystery....How would we get the info of what the school provided so we can see if we were shorted?

Ok, so here is what I know: 1. The 1800 number cannot help us. I called yesterday and the man I spoke with told me they don't have access to our accounts and that we should either email the HRSA or click on 'ask a question' through our portal. He sa...

Pearlgirl: I am super jealous haha! That's awesome that you found someone super helpful! I used to have bad dreams that the scholarship would fall through. Now I have bad dreams that my paperwork is going to get messed up somehow...

Has anyone had any luck with taking the paperwork up to their school? I took my invoice information in, and they called me a few days later and said they needed the official award letter. So- I sent that over this morning. The woman who I spoke to...

My email came from a woman from HRSA (maybe whoever is assigned to me?) and it just said basically that here was the attachments and that there would be a webinar in October to explain things in more detail and we would get an email later with the da...

Ok whoa. Now I'm confused already. I am just now home and able to read through these emails in detail (as soon as the invoice one came through I hightailed it from class to the bursar's office). My 'welcome kit' (with invoice instructions) that it ...

Did you guys get an email with the invoice attachment? I printed it out and took it up to the bursar's office today....they seemed confused which was a bit concerning haha. So that being said- I hope we all can get the invoices processed without too...

Hrsa 2012 family!! Woo. I am sure we will be on here helping each other out thru the rest of the process over the next few months. I am super glad we've had a place to chat since our friends/ family have no clue what we are talking about with this an...

Ok so I went to the link about invoices. Is that something we need to be doing now? Or should we wait for them to send instructions to our portal? I was thinking of going by the bursar's office tomorrrow to try and feel out how big of a mess this is...

Yay..... the wait is over.....

No change...as usual.

@heatherfryer I got the bundle and the 3 required books not included in that- but for the patho- I got the jump book version so really I just got 2 actual books. Dunno if I got the right things but I was kinda just over it and didn't want to mess...

I'm living in Jersey City. I like it so far. Just different not hopping in my car to go somewhere and I know this winter I am going to freeze to death haha. Yea, Austin is great. Did you get your books for classes yet? I think I got what i needed...

Whoa that would be awesome if that's true. I know I'm not the only one on here checking daily like a crazy person haha. I literally wake up every morning and log on to see if there's any news.... and then a few more times throughout the day. It sure...

From Houston. I am the last person on the planet to not use Facebook haha. So I didn't join the group, but hopefully I will figure everything out when school starts.
