Nurse Corps Scholarship Program scholars must begin employment at an eligible Critical Shortage Facility with either a mental health or primary care Health Professional Shortage Area score of 14 or higher within nine months of graduation.
You are responsible for communicating with potential employers and obtaining a job offer.
To prepare for service, you must:
- Communicate with your assigned analyst regularly. As you near graduation, your assigned analyst will contact you regularly through the BHW Customer Service Portal to provide guidance during your job search.

- Use this Open Question (ID#) in the BHW Customer Service Portal to communicate with an analyst. Your analyst will answer all employment-related questions, provide guidance on the employment process, and monitor your employment search progress.
