Government policies can significantly impact the financial burden faced by nurses:
1. Loan Forgiveness Programs: Government-sponsored loan forgiveness programs, such as the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program, offer relief to nurses working in underserved areas or public health institutions. 2. Grants and Subsidies: Federal and state grants and subsidies for nursing education and training can reduce the cost of nursing programs. 3. Workforce Development Initiatives: Government initiatives aimed at workforce development can provide funding for training and development programs for nurses.
