100k in debt after school!?

it is worth the debt..youhave made an investment for a lifetime.

100,000 in debt is not worth it. Its a weight that is going to be around for a long time. You wil regret it later on when you cant find a job, or hate the job/facility you work in but cant quit because of 100K in debt. Try and look for a cheaper option.

gooday, am about to start an rn program and i am curious about my sources of funding. i am still waiting for my financial aid package. but before that can some one help me if they know of any sources of scholarships for nursing students . i am particularly curious about hospitals that want students to sihgn contracts to work with them after graduation in return for funding while they are in school. antone know anything concerning this in the loiussania area, or any related sources of funding? thanks.

Talk to the financial aid office at your school.

Regarding hospitals paying for you to go to school, I seriously doubt you're going to find that. There are a TON of new grads out there scrambling for jobs... hospitals don't need to subsidize students like that or to offer sign-on bonuses anymore.

thanks for your advice. i just talked to a nurse recruiter who told me the same thing you just said. thanks.

I actually asked myself the same question. http://www.moneyunder30.com/degree-w...dent-loan-debt gives you a life calculator and formula to determine whether it would be worth it. Another option I've found, is work for a place that offers tuition reimbursment/assistant. Also, The military - they will pay for your schooling and sometimes even debt you might already have, mostly reserves if your older than i think 27 or even a regular branch. FInally, obviously, grants and scholarships. Those are the options I had come across when I was looking into paying for school/contemplating school loan debt. Hope this was helpful and good luck!
