Question: I just got my $50,000. Do I have to apply it all to my loan now? Or can I make the first 12 months of payments at one time, and then keep half the money in a savings account and make the second 12 months of payments in a year from now? If that makes sense.... Fed Loan Servicing says you can make a lump sum payment and apply it to 12 payments max (To try and get loan forgiveness). Also, I got an email that 2022 HRSA just opened up again. Do we apply for this every year to keep it going? Or do I wait till my 2 year contract ends? Thank you.

I got my confirmation email today for NHSC LRP. I am very excited! I have applied like 4 times as an RN and never got anything. First year as an FNP. How long does it usually take for the co signature?

Wasnt the deadline for Nurse Corps earlier than NHSC? I wonder why NHSC is first? Is there a big difference?

Ahh okay. I tried to submit mine early but there was an issue with my account. They some how created two accounts under my email and it took forever to fix. They fixed it a few days before the close date so I submitted then.

When did you submit your application?

Im a FNP and applied to the NHSC loan repayment. Has anyone heard back on this yet? Will it be an email? Thank you.

Thank you! 133%. I’m tier 1. Awesome thank you.

Hello all, I applied and my application is under review. Looks like I got a credit check on June 5th. Hoping that is good news. Silly question, how do I calculate my debt to income ratio?

I was some how moved into management, which I admit, I have learned a ton and even received my MSN. I enrolled into FNP school, but the stress overwhelmed me. I find myself really disliking my management job. The politics, the meetings, the HR... I just want to take care of patients, and treat them with all of my love and kindness. Problem is, I have two little ones and there is no way I could go back to the floor and do 12s. Are there any 9 to 5 patient care jobs out there? I have been searching for months!

I have been working as an RN for 1 year a brand new very small hospital. This is a Rural hospital, and our Medical floor has 10 beds. We staff 2 RN's and once CNA. Management says we should be able to hand a 5 to 1 ratio no problem. I can tell you that when this happens, I do not get any breaks, and I often feel like I am not giving my patients the care they deserve... I know all of the RN's I work with feel the same way, and it has become a very popular topic to complain about at work. Our argument is that they want us to build this great reputation, and start taking sicker patients... well we want to feel safe doing that. My Manager (who does not work the floor EVER), says we need to become better organized, because other hospitals do a 5 to 1 ratio just fine. (Keep in mind, we are the only support staff we have. There is an ER, but they are having the same problem, no respitory therapy, nothing...) So for you nurses that do have a high ratio, how do you do it? We do 12 hours shifts. I start my day by doing all my physical assessments, I try to keep it basic overall, and then focus on the reason they are with us. Then I try to chart. (We are all paper charting still, and we have to chart multiple things in multiple places.) Then I start my morning med pass and am usually done with in two hours. Then its lunch, which usually consist of taking off Dr orders and discharging or admitting. Then there is another med pass and dinner. That's usually how it goes as long as NOTHING goes wrong. Any tips is very much appreciated. If I need to be able to take 5 patients, then that's fine, I want to learn how to do it well.
