Nursing School Debt...

How long did it take each of you to pay off your nursing school debt? How much was your nursing school debt or how much did it cost you period for nursing school? Please indicate if this was a two year program or four year...

Did you pay on your debt while you were still in school or did you wait till you were working as an RN?

Any replies will be greatly appreciated...

these are federal monies that are granted yearly but covered employers/locations change yearly. bookmark this website and apply for repayment after your graduation date. earlier you apply, the better before funds are all allocated!

Thanks for the valuable info about the NELRP--I'm sure those of us who are in debt due to student loans are grateful!
