Trump’s student-loan repayment overhaul limits borrowing for nurses. There’s a new bipartisan push to change that.

• A bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced a bill to designate advanced nursing as a professional degree.
• The Education Department’s new student-loan borrowing caps exclude nursing from the higher limits.
• Lawmakers and advocates said the limits could exacerbate the ongoing healthcare shortage.

“Policies that make graduate nursing education less affordable will not only discourage nurses from advancing their education but will also reduce the number of nurse educators available to train the next generation of nurses,” one commenter said. “Fewer educators mean fewer nursing school slots and longer delays in bringing new nurses into the workforce, and ultimately compromising care.”
