March 4 Application Deadline Nears For Nursing Loan Repayment Program

The Alabama Department of Public Health Office of Primary Care and Rural Health wants
qualified nurses to be aware that they may be eligible for the Nursing Education Loan
Repayment Program. This federally funded program assists in the recruitment and retention of
professional registered nurses in facilities with a critical nursing shortage in exchange for fulltime
service.


"Nurses have until March 4, 2010, to complete their applications for this program which assists
with repaying a portion of their educational loans and we urge qualified nurses who are willing to
work through their commitment to apply," said the office's Charles Graves.


Nurses who meet the following criteria are eligible:


- Hold a degree in nursing (associate, baccalaureate or graduate level)

- Have outstanding educational loans (nursing loans only)

- Are a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, or lawful permanent resident of the United States

- Are employed full-time (32 hours or more per week) at a critical shortage facility

- Have a current permanent unrestricted license as a registered nurse in the state in which
he/she intends to practice



Critical nursing shortage areas include nonprofit hospitals serving large numbers of low-income
patients, federally designated health centers, rural health clinics, certain skilled care facilities,
health departments and others.



Additional eligibility information, service requirements and the application are available here.
