Loan forgiveness options? Help!

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Hi! I am a registered nurse currently working in a NICU in Arkansas. My husband and I are moving to Seattle, Wa in August and finishing BSN school in July. I have over $60,000 in student loans and am trying desperately to find a program that offers loan repayment. I have looked into the HRSA nurse corps repayment as an option, but have been told that since the funding has been cut that they were only able to award like three people last year out of thousands of applicants. My husband thinks at this point I should join the army (lol) and work out a deal with them which I am almost considering! I am planning to do the 10 year government loan forgiveness program, but even doing that my payment will still be $800. I don't see how we can afford to start a family with payments so high. Any ideas for loan repayment plans or contracts at hospitals in the Seattle area or programs in general are appreciated! Thanks.
