Student loan limits could reshape how U.S. trains nurses

Season 2025 Episode 337 | 7m 30s

New limits on student loans could reshape how the U.S. trains nurses and doctors. Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, medical students would be capped at borrowing $50,000 per year. The Trump administration is now proposing a stricter cap for graduate degrees in nursing, public health or social work. Geoff Bennett discussed more with Jennifer Mensik Kennedy of the American Nurses Association.
