Program objective
The Nurse Corps Loan Repayment Program (Nurse Corps LRP) provides loan repayment assistance to professional registered nurses (RN), including advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), in return for a commitment to work full-time in eligible health care facilities with a critical shortage of nurses or serve as a nurse faculty in an eligible school of nursing. Nurse Corps LRP decreases the economic barriers associated with pursuing careers at Critical Shortage Facilities or in academic school of nursing.
