The lump sum goes to you! So definitely double and triple check your banking info ? They have 90 days to pay out once your contract starts and most years it shows up pretty close to that 90 day deadline - mine came in December.

NHSC is NOT taxed and it comes in one lump sum. When I did the math on the tax and the interest accrued over those monthly payments, NHSC's payout was about the same as what I'd actually get (minus tax and interest) from Nurse Corps.

Hey folks! I did regular (full-time, not SUD or rural) NHSC LRP as a psych NP and last week was notified that I have been awarded a continuation. They do continuations first before moving on to initial contracts for NHSC and Nurse Corps. Hopeful...

Call NCLRP ASAP and explain your situation! I think you have 30 days from countersignature to pull out of the contract but you absolutely want to make sure this is the case with them. If you breach your contract, you will be ineligible for all types ...

Have any NHSC recipients gotten the money yet? I'm getting used to waiting now but it would certainly be nice if they deposit the money before December (which would be 90 days from countersignature).

Got COI for NHSC at 7 PM this evening and quickly logged in to sign off on my interest. Now I am anxiously rereading everyone's posts about how long it took for their cosignatures. NHSC and NCLRP applicant, got NHSC (what I was hoping for, fingers cr...

Consolidated loans are only eligible if ALL debt was for nursing education. Any non-nursing debt bundled into it make all the consolidated debt ineligible for NCLRP, and I think the same is true for NHSC.

Like everyone else said, you need 10 years of qualifying payments (on certain types of **eligible loans**) before you’re able to pursue the actual loan forgiveness. But if you do want to cover all your bases you can submit verification to confirm tha...

PMHNP in an FQHC Tier 1/HPSA 19 for mental health. DTI at time of application 117% I applied for both Nurse Corps and NHSC (regular, not SUD, regretting that now!). Did anyone else apply for both? I haven’t seen anyone saying they got the regular NHS...

We’ve still got time! Previous threads’ recipients looked like they received award notice 8-12 weeks after they noticed their credit had been checked. And don’t forget that credit checks were later this year (probably due to the shutdown) so notifica...

I have a friend who, two year ago, got finalist notification in September and ended up getting awarded Nurse Corps LRP. It definitely seems like they do it in waves.

Congrats to the finalists!! May the funding odds be ever in your favor! Question as one of the nervous people awaiting a reply: How does Nurse Corps/NHSC obtain your income info to calculate DTI? I just reviewed my application and my salary isn’t any...

Isn’t that the big difference between NHSC and nurse corps? NHSC generally goes by site score whereas nurse corps takes DTI into greater account, right? If you applied for NHSC I’d imagine our chances are the same - HPSA 19, NP, DTI ~115%.

Last Thursday I got an email asking to confirm loan eligibility. That's the only sign I've gotten that things are moving along.

Hi folks! I couldn't find a post about the 2015 application cycle and I'm interested to see how other people are feeling about it. Since so many other schools have November deadlines, I've already finished up my MGH app (save my letters...) and submi...

Hello Vanderbilt MSN hopefuls! I am also a current prespecialty student and would be happy to answer any questions you may have. The one thing I can speak to is PMHNP interviews. Expect to be interviewed, but don't freak out if you don't hear from th...

Thats what I'm coming around to see, too. Speak with current students at any school you are considering is the best advice I got and the thing that's helped me the most. MGH grads do get good job placements in the area but it doesn't seem to help muc...

Joke's on me! BOTH schools have my deposit money. ceddybear, good point. I'm curious how a Massachusetts native (no accent, but all of the brash mannerisms) would fit in down there, though.

Argh I'm doing the exact same thing - Vandy vs MGH. I keep saying I've made up my mind for MGH but then this nagging sense keeps telling me to look at Vanderbilt again. I haven't been able to go down to Nashville yet, though, so that trip should help...

Previous year's boards seem to echo that whole "This year is the biggest class ever!" thing. I'm sure they admit a lot with the expectation that a good chunk of us will accept other offers

I wondered that, too! I don't know if it was here or some other board where someone said they started with 160 other people for ETP and then when they graduated from their specialty (psych) there were only 9 people??? Does that mean they bailed, or i...

I do like Columbia's program - more psychopharm, more counseling coursework. But as someone who isn't planning on staying in NYC, and who would ultimately like to get a doctorate, I'm unsure of Columbia's value. $$$ for the BSN, MSN, and then $$$ ag...

MissesOh I'm in the same (or very similar) boat! I live in Boston, got into both programs...I actually didn't plan to apply to Columbia at first. MGH was my safety, Yale was my reach. Didn't achieve my goal and now I'm deciding between the school I e...

I did not get into Yale so now I'm really doubling down on my pro/con list between Columbia and MGH. I'm dying for the financial aid info so I can assess it better. Anyone else still unsure of Columbia?

Unfortunately for me, there's no PMHNP waitlist (at least, not in previous years - if someone gets psych waitlist news good job!). Congratulations to those of you that got good news!
