Are there forgiveness/repayment programs for people going into nursing?

Published

I am planning to go into nursing and doing an acclerated nursing program. The program requires me to not work so I have to plan out my finances well. I plan on taking loans to pay for school and a personal loan for my own personal expenses. I am terrified but I need to make a change in my life.

My questions are the following:

Are there forgiveness/repayment programs for people going into nursing?

The program I applied to is $60K for 15 months and I graduate with a BSN and can get my RN license. Also, I am on my own, in my 30's and I need to live. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
