Paying down debt from nursing school with Jenna
Jenna is an RN who recently graduated with a masters and $150,000 in student loan debt. We're discussing the many different ways to pursue an RN degree today along with what to do about the student loans you could accumulate. I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to sit down with Jenna and hear her story and a plan for tackling the nursing student loan debt. A large number of nurses are eligible for student loan forgiveness. The issue is they just aren’t informed about the program or their options. If she could do it all over again, would Jenna pursue a Master’s in nursing? We discuss this and more in the episode! For more information, visit the show notes at https://studentloanplanner.com/4
