There is a serious shortage of nurses at certain health care facilities in the United States. The purpose of the NELRP is to assist in the recruitment and retention of professional Registered Nurses (RNs) dedicated to providing health care in facilities with a crucial shortage of nurses and to provide an opportunity for RNs to consider a career in such facilities. The program offers RNs substantial economic assistance to repay a portion of their qualifying nursing education loans in exchange for full-time service at a health care facility with a critical shortage of nurses.
The NELRP is administered by the Bureau of Clinician Recruitment and Service (BCRS) within the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). HRSA is an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
