Nurses have several options for managing student loan debt:
1. Loan Forgiveness Programs: Nurses working in underserved areas may qualify for loan forgiveness programs such as the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program. 2. Income-Driven Repayment Plans: These plans adjust monthly payments based on income, making them more manageable. 3. Refinancing: Refinancing student loans at a lower interest rate can reduce monthly payments and total repayment cost.
