So far from my class, we have several people that have heard back pretty early from ICU positions and med-surg/tele positions. If you are concerned about your application status you can contact your recruiter and see if they know of any information. I called mine and they said the positions were still opened and the hiring people were still considering. She said everybody should get a response by the beginning of May.

For people that have been hired/know ppl that were hired alrdy, how long was the waiting period before u were notified of an offer? And if there was no offer made do they still call/email u to let you know u were rejected? I have been waiting almost 2 weeks for a response since my interview with a hiring manager and still havent heard back yet. Feeling really anxious and discouraged =\.

I just received one for med-surg as well. I think they're slowly getting around to people.

So if we don't hear back from a recruiter or receive a rejection letter does that mean we don't have any more chances for applying to Baylor until the next round of internships (which I don't even know when)?

Last week guys! *fingers crossed*

It seems like either they are kind of slow distributing the awards or there may be problems. Bc judging from this forum only a handful of ppl actually got the award and a lot of people are still waiting to hear back. Hopefully they let us know within the next 2 weeks!

not yet either.

Me too! Did u get any credit checks yet?

For people that are confused about when they are getting the scholarship and if you will have to take loans out to meet your tuition deadline, i think you can talk to your financial aid office and tell them that you are a recipient and that they will be giving out the award on a certain date, they may just wait it out and not charge you late fees or go through the trouble of taking out loans etc. And YES someone from Texas did receive the scholarship already!!

I really don't know how they are going about picking people either. Because it seems like its all over the regions now, and people have different EFCs and GPAs. Did you guys that got the scholarship submit your application early? Because I submitted mine pretty late! My EFC is 0, GPA 3.65, Texas, no credit checks yet =/

What does the FTE and #short stand for? if it has a #short of 0 does it mean they are not taking people even though they have a level above 14?

@jennanwarren, can you provide a link to the facilities we can look for? Thanks!

What state are you from or going to school in? Congrats!

For all the newcomers that said they got the acceptance email, can you guys tell us what state you are in and what EFC? thanks! and congrats!!

Maybe by region??? Didn't they divide the regions by color or something last year? or was that for something else? so maybe they are checking the east coast right now: since Tennessee and Massachusetts have checks! I'm in Texas, so fingers crossed for a check by the end of this week or early next week!

@jmb0925 Did you get to speak with one of the financial advisors yet? Because we all already have a Bachelor's degree, financial aid will be close to none. I think everyone just either took more student loans out (if they haven't maxed out already for the first bachelors) and then took private loans out from Sallie Mae or something. From what I know, I don't think there were any grants for financial aid, just student loans, and probably work study. People probably had scholarships here and there too to help out. You can try the HRSA nurse corps scholarship if you haven't heard about that. Good luck!

And can you share which state you are in and what program and efc ?

Should it be under inquiries or alerts? I havent gotten anything either =\ i am using freecreditscore.com and creditkarma now. I am 2 months in my 12 month BSN program. And I'm from the TX area. My efc is 0.

okay, thank you for letting us know! I am currently using freecreditscore.com I don't know how great they are at pinning down checks tho. But if I don't hear anything within this week, I'll probably sign up for http://www.annualcreditreport.com !

I looked at last year's post and seemed like people got their first credit checks on July 16th and after, so I'm thinking maybe we should be seeing credit checks next week or even a week after since our deadline got delayed.

I haven't gotten any credit checks yet either, I'm thinking if there IS anything it should be this coming week the earliest, and throughout this month too. But I really hope I get the scholarship too and will get notified in early August! Because my school is starting to ask for tuition charges for the Fall already, and I would hate to have to sign up for another loan. Good luck everyone!

Here's a direct link to the log-in portal if you can't access it thru their website anymore: https://programportal.hrsa.gov/extranet/application/ncsp/login.seam

I don't think we will hear back until July. Judging from last year's thread, people had credit checks/pulls that might or might not indicate being a finalist. You can always check on their website to see if your status has changed. For mine it just still says 'under review'.

I'm a big procrastinator too, and I am starting nursing school in a week! I think the workload will eventually put you off of procrastinating. Because ever since I've attended my orientations and realized how much work I will be dealing with I've just been focused on starting nursing school. Also maybe a suggestion is find out what you normally do when you procrastinate? like for me I liked to watch TV shows or movies or go on youtube or facebook. You will have to slowly eliminate those things out of your life when NS starts. When you feel like procrastinating, just take small breaks like get a drink, exercise or w/e. It's all a psychological thing after-all. Also, definitely make plans or lists of things you have to do, so when you feel like you don't have anything to do, go back to your lists and realize there are things you need done.

Last year applicants started finding out if they won in the beginning of August, but because this year's deadline got extended, maybe mid-Aug??
