Check Foote Hospital in Jackson, they award a scholarship every year for someone who makes a 2-3 year commitment. Also, the VA has some great loan repayment programs; 2 of the more recently remodeled VA hospitals are in Ann Arbor and Detroit.

Also, a new bill was just signed into law that people entering public service professions (including nurses) will have their federal loans forgiven after 10 years of service.

congress approves student loan forgiveness for public servants...september 7, 2007

legislation that would provide student loan forgiveness for federal employees after 10 years of service will now move to president bush's desk.

the bill (h.r. 2669), sponsored by rep. george miller, d-calif., was agreed upon by a conference committee wednesday and cleared by the house and senate on friday. the president, who had threatened to veto the measure, has agreed to sign it.

the legislation includes language that would make it easier for college graduates who have high student loan debt to accept lower-paying government and nonprofit jobs...provide student loan forgiveness of $5,000 for graduates who go into public service professions..."

alright!
