Nurses Across NY Application Due April 12th

Members are reminded that the due date for applications for the Nurses Across New York (NANY) loan forgiveness program is April 12, 2023. As a reminder, these funds can be used to repay educational debt for registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical nurses (LPNs) working full time in clinical practice in certain settings in underserved communities, including nursing homes, home care agencies, diagnostic and treatment centers, and other facilities overseen by other State agencies. The health care facility or practice where the nurse will be employed and make a three-year commitment to serve must be located in an underserved area, as defined in Attachment 6 (Tool to Identify an Underserved Area). There are a variety of criteria that the individual must also meet to be eligible. Click here for more background on this opportunity and recently issued Questions and Answers.
