Samuel Merritt ABSN & job outlook

[yukitiki]

Hi!

I have been reading too many posts about surplus new grad nurses in the SF Bay Area and couldn't help wonder how are the Sam Merritt graduates doing with so much debt without job prospect. UCSF, USF and other private school graduates, too, for that matter. Can you eventually find a job if you are patient or flexible?

I thought you have to start paying back the debt after 6mos of graduation. What's the monthly payment and for how long if you had, say, $75K in loan?

This is exactly what I am afraid of. I am finished w/prereqs and applying but now reconsidering the expensive ones like Sam Merritt.

Appreciate any insights. Thanks!
