I am wondering if there are any NPs that can advise me on student debt. I would like to pursue an entry level masters program to become a family nurse practitioner - however all of the options are very expensive and I would have to take out a very s...

Very helpful, thanks so much!!!

He's also got some great videos on YouTube!

Thank you!!!!!

Advice from studentloanplanner.com: "We’ve done over 2,000 consults and advised on over $500,000,000 of student debt here at Student Loan Planner. Our experience shows there are two optimal ways for DNPs to pay off student loans: Aggressive Pay Back:...

Thanks so much for your honesty and evidence based response. It’s really great to hear your perspective!

I am interested in hearing what your thoughts are on the cost of the program? I know you mentioned it scares a lot of people away. But for someone who will need to take out loans to afford tuition - does it seem worth it? I have been getting a lot of...

Thanks this is super helpful! It’s great to hear other perspectives and compare options. There are so many students who get accepted into these expensive nursing programs and take out the loans without thinking twice about debt. It seems like it is j...

Thank you.

There’s no need to be rude. I am just listing facts. Please list your opinions elsewhere, thank you.

Thank you, that’s exactly why I am asking this question. Does student loan debt affect one’s eligibility for other loans such as mortgages, etc. Community colleges in California have waiting lists for several years and that is just to get an associa...

Paying off a loan in 1-2 years is impossible at this point! I already expect to make payments for at least ten years.

The accelerated BSN program is 100,000 alone. Community college and state schools are cheap but too competitive and impossible to get into.

Thanks for your help - that’s exactly why I am asking this question. It’s not uncommon for nursing students to take out such large loans as these programs are getting more competitive. The ABSN is an undergraduate degree so I don’t think that limit ...

That’s awesome, what school was it? In California the state schools have limited seats and are very competitive to get into because of their low tuition fees. Students often end up on waiting lists for several years before even starting the program.

Thanks, this is super helpful! I have explored lots of options and the ABSN is the fastest way to start my nursing career, especially considering I have just turned 30. Ideally I would love to work in a shortage area or commit to a loan repayment pr...

Thanks so much. Obviously the tuition is my biggest concern - I will need to take out significant loans to cover tuition and living costs. Other nurses seem to think it is a rediculous amount of money to pay. But SMUs tuition is similar to many other...

It is an entry level masters for non-nurses, so includes pre-licensure training and NP training. The cost of the entire program is 175,000. Just curious what is the average cost of an NP degree? I’ve compared many programs and most entry level master...

Thank you, this is all super helpful! Since you are a student - can you tell me if there is time to work during the program? Can students work part time as nurses during the FNP portion of the program?

Does anyone know if there are any major differences between the ABSN curriculum and ELMSN pre-licensure curriculum? I was under the impression that they were essentially the same curriculum - but when comparing them it seems the ABSN program has thr...

Hi everyone - Does anyone know if there is time to work (as a nurse) during the NP portion of the program if students are on the full-time course? It looks like there are only 6 credits each semester - at least during the first 3 semesters of the NP...

Hi Nurses! I was recently accepted into an accelerated nursing degree - however it will put me in a large amount of debt. I have been researching options for nursing loan repayment - and it seems like many of the repayment and forgiveness programs ar...

Hi there, I realize this post is old but I am researching opportunities in international nursing. I would like to know if it's possible to get sponsored to work in the UK if I have an American passport. I'd also like to work in the NICU. Thanks!

Hi Coffee Nurse - I love your story and I'm just wondering how you were able to move from LA to the UK? Did you have to apply for a work visa? I am interested in doing international nursing, but I'm not sure if it's possible. Thanks!
