OMB No.: 0915–0140—Revision
Abstract: The NURSE Corps Loan

(NELRP), assists in the recruitment and
retention of professional Registered
Nurses (RNs), including advanced
practice RNs (i.e., nurse practitioners,
certified registered nurse anesthetists,
certified nurse-midwives, clinical nurse
specialists), dedicated to working at
eligible health care facilities with a
critical shortage of nurses (i.e., a Critical
Shortage Facility) or working as nurse
faculty in eligible, accredited schools of
nursing, by decreasing the financial
barriers associated with pursuing a
nursing profession. The NURSE Corps
LRP provides loan repayment assistance
to these nurses to repay a portion of
their qualifying educational loans in
exchange for full-time service at a
public or private nonprofit Critical
Shortage Facility or in an eligible,
accredited school of nursing.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The need and purpose of
this information collection is to obtain
information for NURSE Corps LRP
applicants and participants. The
information is used to consider an
applicant for a NURSE Corps LRP
contract award and to monitor a
participant’s compliance with the

interested in participating in the NURSE
Corps LRP, and official representatives
at their service sites.
