Student Loans

[andry754]

I'm starting nursing school in winter 2016. I'm really happy I got in to my first pick nursing school, but to be completely honest I'm having second thoughts due to student loans. I havnt had a good night sleep for the past few days just thinking about the debt that I will have under my name and my parents. It's funny because in reality my schools program is about $65K but my father is an employee at the school and I get 50% off tuition, and I'm still freaking out! Is this normal? Any advice on what I should do?

Do it! ..... Being a nurse is awesome and you won't mind paying off the loans that helped you have such a rewarding career.

Good on you OP for considering the consequences of taking on student loan debt!

A good way to think about it is, a student loan is an investment in yourself. Being smart about it is just smart!
