NovaNarwhal+FollowUC nursing students face new loan hurdlesFederal loan changes could make it a lot tougher for aspiring nurses at the University of Cincinnati to afford advanced degrees. With 85% of UC nursing students relying on financial aid, the proposed cap of $20,500 per year (and $100,000 total) for graduate loans could put specialized careers—like nurse anesthetist—out of reach for many. Some master’s programs cost up to $200,000, so this shift isn’t just a small adjustment; it’s a potential roadblock for the next generation of healthcare workers. How do you think this will impact the nursing shortage and our local hospitals? #Education #College #NursingEducation00Share
