Episode 007 – Nursing Education Loan Repayment and Forgiveness




The NP Dude show

Summary: <p>One of the most frequently ask questions I am seeing is about ways to get student loans paid by someone else.  Well, today I cover the main Federal loan mitigation plans out there!  Note, I do not get into the state level plans available, or negotiating with your employer directly, but those should also be explored on a case by case basis.  I do give some basic, functional differences between loan repayment and loan forgiveness, as well as, some of the big picture requirements for each.  This should help provide some guidance as to whether a plan is available to you and whether it is worth the commitment required.  I also have some links below, as mentioned in the audio, to help get you in the right direction.</p> <p>Loan Repayment Programs:</p> <ol> <li> NURSE Corps Loan Repayment Program can be found at <a href="https://bhw.hrsa.gov/loansscholarships/nursecorps/lrp">https://bhw.hrsa.gov/loansscholarships/nursecorps/lrp</a> </li> <li>NHSC <a href="https://nhsc.hrsa.gov/loanrepayment/loanrepaymentprogram.html">https://nhsc.hrsa.gov/loanrepayment/loanrepaymentprogram.html</a> </li> </ol> <p>Loan Forgiveness Program:  <a href="https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/repay-loans/understand/plans">https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/repay-loans/understand/plans</a></p> <p>I would love to hear from someone who has participated in these programs and get their experience…so please leave comments below, email me at <a href="jeff@TheNPDude.com">jeff@TheNPDude.com</a>, or comment on the Facebook page.  Don’t forget to like and share my Facebook page!</p>
