I_Love_Bacon APRN, NP

I would hope requiring RN experience would NOT be considered a downside to a future NP of any specialty. Sheesh.

For all of us still waiting with our hopes dwindling and dying a slow death by the day, just wanted to report another site maintenance announcement on the portal, this time for Saturday. Maybe more awards will go out?

Hey all, just logged and and saw this: Please excuse the inconvenience, but the site will be down for scheduled maintenance on Friday August 23, 2019 from 10:00 PM to approximately 8:00 AM EDT on Saturday August 24, 2019. For more information or ques...

Woo hoo!!!!

I completely understand. My debt is manageable and salary ok-ish but I still could benefit from this award. My patient population is very poor, sick, and not insured. It's hard to recruit and retain people in these rural areas. Ugh! I just wanted to ...

Congrats to all who got emails today!!!! Still over here waiting... Thinking about changing jobs if I don't get awarded.

So over it. Ugh.

What you posted is specifically what I find the biggest flaw of NCLRP. Why on Earth would an entity give large money awards to only a few, when it could give so many more if given to a broader mix. A lottery system comes to mind. I hope that DTI isn'...

Wow, what a hot mess.

Me too, under review.

From what I understand, there is no applying for the PSLF. You have to make 10 years of payments while working at qualified sites, and THEN apply. If you didn't do something exactly how they wanted over that ten-year span, you're disqualified. I thin...

I like your outlook!

It seems like everyone received finalist emails in the past two weeks, from middle July to the end of July... Feeling pretty hopeless at this point. It's not as though all applicants for this program are on the all nurses forum. So there is a good ch...

Nicole, did you just find out today?

Still "under review." Words so good to see before, now are irritating the crap out of me.

Wow that is harsh of them. I'm sorry this happened to you. ?

Awesome! Happy for you!!! ??????????????

ER NP at a critical access hospital, HPSA score 18, DTI <100%. Tier 2. Call me a dreamer or a dummy. Gonna keep applying and hoping.

Still under review over here too. Ugh.

On a previous page of this discussion, PICUrn2014 said they got word of being a finalist a few days before the end, which I took to mean in September?! I too wonder if we're all out now or what.

So site maintenance is finished. Back to being "under review." ?

Well I just think, all it took was some time and effort to apply, so if we get it, great! But if not, we're no worse off than we were before. But dang, I want and need this! ?

I am going crazy with the wait.

There are threads of previous years where some did not get it after being a finalist. Not that I obsessively read back every single post ???

I guess so. My site isn't listed as NHSC. But I am going to try to get someone to do the paperwork for it for next year.
