School loans and debt, how much are you in the hole?

Published

How much are nurses typically in the hole after completing their education? I'm having some plapitations after signing for the money for my 1st year RN-to MSN program.:o $15,000 more to add to the bucket.

One year is gonna cost me more than the four years it took to get my ADN! I'm not sure if I can laugh at that or not right now. :bluecry1:

Do you pay on your student loans/interest as you go, or do you defer them all through school and consolidate/start paying when you're done?

I will be finishing up in two years which approximately $20,000 in debts. Most of it is owed back to my parents and siblings, which is nice as they are charging me very little interest. I plan to pay it all off within the first year by saving money by living at home. A sacrifice I will have to make but it will be worth it.
