Nurse Corps loan repayment hospitals in Texas: common questions

Which hospitals in Texas are in Nurse Corps shortage areas?

Of the hospitals hiring on this site, 51 are in Texas counties HRSA designates a shortage area as a whole, the highest scores first: Christus Jasper Memorial Hospital in Jasper (a primary care HPSA (score 14) and a mental health HPSA (score 20)), Christus Spohn Hospital Alice in Alice (a mental health HPSA (score 19)), Christus Spohn Hospital Beeville in Beeville (a mental health HPSA (score 19)) and Fort Duncan Medical Center in Eagle Pass (a primary care HPSA (score 10) and a mental health HPSA (score 19)).

What is Nurse Corps loan repayment, and which hospitals count?

HRSA's Nurse Corps Loan Repayment Program repays 60% of a registered nurse's outstanding qualifying nursing education loans over two years of full-time service at a Critical Shortage Facility, and an additional 25% for an optional third year (HRSA; 42 U.S.C. 297n). A Critical Shortage Facility is, in HRSA's words, "a public or private health care facility located in, designated as, or serving a Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA)", a primary care or mental health one. Awards are competitive: HRSA gives preference by financial need, the nurse's specialty or type of facility, and the HPSA score.

Which employers run them?

CHRISTUS Health (6), Universal Health Services (4), Graham Hospital District (1), Tenet Healthcare (4), Reeves County Hospital District (1), Eastland Memorial Hospital District (1), CHS (Community Health Systems) (4) and Prime Healthcare (4) and 14 more. Each opens its open jobs. A nurse applies to HRSA, which decides each award.

Nurse Corps shortage area hospitals in other states

Each state's hospitals hiring in counties HRSA designates a shortage area as a whole.

Sources and method

A hospital is listed when its county, as Medicare records it, is a primary care or mental health HPSA that HRSA designates as a whole county. Shortage areas drawn by census tract or population group, and facilities designated or serving a HPSA, are not placed here, so a Texas hospital missing here can still count. Every state.
