The Dept. of Education is dropping nursing from its list of 'professional degrees,' which means future grad students could get way less federal aid—like, half as much as med or law students. Nurses are already in short supply, and this move could make it even harder for people (especially from low-income backgrounds) to afford advanced nursing degrees. Nurses and advocates are seriously worried about what this means for healthcare and diversity in the field. #Education #Nursing #StudentLoans
