Underwood video highlights impact of Trump loan caps on graduate nursing programs
The video features interviews with advanced-practice nurses in Chicago discussing the financial burden of their education and the potential effects of a new federal rule on future students' ability to pursue graduate nursing degrees. Nurses describe relying on loans for BSN, MSN, and DNP programs and express concern about reduced access to higher loan limits for communities reliant on nurse practitioners. Rep. Lauren Underwood, a nurse herself, states that her bill would repeal the underlying regulation and return to prior rules.
