How Does Financial Constraint Affect Nursing Education?
Financial constraint is one of the most pervasive barriers in nursing education. Tuition fees, cost of textbooks, and expenses related to clinical practice can be prohibitive for many students. Scholarships and financial aid options are available, but they are often limited and highly competitive. This financial burden can lead to increased stress and may result in students working multiple jobs, which can detract from their focus on studies and clinical practice.
