I have 60 grand of student loan when I finished BSN

Published

I had my ADN in 2014, then I went back to school two months later for BSN, now I just graduated from BSN, and the student loan I owe is little over 60 grand..Oh load. I had to pay over 600 a month for 10 payment. That seems a lot to me. Any suggestions? any programs that can reduce or forgive my loan? Thank you very much!

She graduated with a BSN, sent off for CES per Texas BON they determined it same a US BSN.

She had her BSN done at age 19, got her RN in Texas at age 20. I saved a lot of apples.........

She had a four-year degree completed by 19? Remarkable! I see a lot of posts about Philippine graduates having to do extra classes, take more courses because their BSN degrees aren't considered adequate nursing education to get a state license. it's good your girlfriend's school prepared her well because it looks like there are a lot of foreign schools that don't!

I do not know what to advise you. It was a bad monetary decision and I don't know of anyone that will pay off that kind of money. Hopefully others have some resources for you.

Of course people pay off debt.

Let's say OP was living off $35,000 prior to racking up this debt. She's now an RN and can make $60,000. She can live off $40,000 for a few more years, apply the difference to the debt, after building up an emergency fund.

These are rough figures of course, there's taxes, etc. It just means, no more lattes, frappes, eating out, just like billions of people in the world do without.

I could be mistaken, but I believe not.done.yet is referring to employers when saying that no one will pay off the debt.

If you're willing to relocate, IHS does loan repayment with a 2 year contract for work.

Do you mean you owe 6000 or 60,000?

"60 grand" = $60,000

"60 grand" = $60,000

And $600.00 x 10months = 6000

The OP was clear as mud. I made an assumption that the intent was to say 10 years of payments as that might coincide with the "60 grand." I was also assuming that a $6,000 loan wouldn't be so distressing as to post about it.

But you know what they say about those who make assumptions...

I realize that. But there was also this: "Oh load." What is that?

I just assumed a poor communication style. I mean, who calls $6,000 "60 grand"?!

Not trying to argue, I just think OP needs to clarify.

oh yeah. well 600.00 a month x 10 years is 72,000. Oh well.

I thought it meant, "Oh, Lord." I could be wrong.
