I am truly sorry for those who did not receive an award this year. I absolutely know that sucky feeling. My hope is that you all will keep at it, because eventually (4years later), it paid off for me. GOOD LUCK next year!!!

lynn5707, I never understood that either, but they literally wait until the deadline of Sept 30th to announce everything. I agree that if they know, without a shadow of a doubt, that someone will NOT be awarded, they should go ahead and just shoot us...

emmiecb, I truly know how you are feeling. I really have NO idea how they pick and choose the awardees. I've seen people post higher facility scores and higher D/I ratios than mine, and have not been awarded. It makes ZERO sense. I honestly believe t...

So I've looked over the Welcome packet & just looked through to make sure that all of my info is correct. Other than that, I have not come across anything else that we are supposed to do. Can anyone else verify that now we just wait for deposit??

Thanks so much!!! I cannot even begin to explain the devastation I felt over the last 3 years, each time I received an email saying that they were out of funds, & that I would not be receiving an award. This program causes hypertension & depr...

Yay! I was countersigned also, at 2:36pm by JK. :) I am so very thankful!!! I would say that this feeling is worth the 4 years of applying without success. Whew!!! I get married next month, and this award has been a HUGE financial help for our future...

AnaLong, your CEO at your facility announced something about HRSA funds?? That is so weird! My facility barely knows what this program is all about. They just confirm that I'm an employee, but the facility itself has nothing to do with funding or the...

My last name starts with J

I received my email at 5pm EST

sarahtrokey I am an RN.

Oh my GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I received an award email!!!!! I am thrilled!!! I can't even contain it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 148%, site 16 4 years of patiently waiting! Thank God!

Ugh!!! I agree psychrn30. This has been the hardest "watch and wait" year ever! I think I'm developing chest pain from the suspense. I want to desperately hope that I still have a chance, but I'm starting to feel like I missed out again...

I'm in the same boat. RN, 148%, site score 16, credit check 6/5. Still praying!!

That's crazy, Schmammers! Awardees in past years received their packets within a month! Something is definitely different about this year. Have you called or emailed them?

I sent an email to HRSA, hoping for a better update than what is provided when we call. Basically the email stated that the application process is lengthy, and applicants are just now starting to hear if they were awarded. On the plus side, if they a...

I just don't understand...

I saw that there is a HRSA facebook page, and I have been trying to scan it to see if anyone has posted anything about receiving awards. Nothing so far...

Something is not right. This is the WORST award turnout that I have seen in 4 years. Honestly, if they are already out of funds, they should just tell us. Beats being glued to our computers everyday. Has any RN'S heard anything yet? It's been so long...

I am floored that hardly anyone has heard ANYTHING!! With all of these credit checks & only a handful awards, what is going on??? I wish someone with HRSA could give us an update...

I'm taking it that no one heard anything this past Friday??

AnaLong- Are you referring to applicants who received the initial award and then did NOT receive the forgiveness? Or when those of us waiting to hear, finally were told we were NOT going to receive the award at all? In the last 4 years, I saw one per...

CompuNurse25- I believe in previous years, awardees could look under their submitted application, and at the very end could see when their applications were signed. I'm not sure how accurate it is, but awardees would usually see a signature within 2 ...

Ok! Thanks Jesstressrn!

In the 4 years that I have applied, I have never seen such a huge delay in awards being granted. This is the first year that I have received a credit check (6/5), and I'm starting to feel like that won't even matter. So am I understanding correctly ...

I have not heard anything either...
