Working as a nurse is a great way to give back to your community, and can lead to a lucrative career in a high-demand industry.<\/p>\n<p>If you graduated from school with student loans, you\u2019re likely feeling overwhelmed by your debt. Thankfully, several student loan forgiveness programs are available for nurses that may be able to help.<\/p>\n<p><b>Here\u2019s everything you need to know about student loan forgiveness for nurses:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#national-student-loan-forgiveness-programs-for-nurses\">National student loan forgiveness programs for nurses<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#state-forgiveness-programs\">State forgiveness programs<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#if-you-are-not-eligible-for-loan-forgiveness\">If you\u2019re not eligible for loan forgiveness<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a name=\"national-student-loan-forgiveness-programs-for-nurses\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>National student loan forgiveness programs for nurses<\/h2>\n<p>Five loan forgiveness programs for healthcare workers are available at the national level. But keep in mind that gaining access to these programs may depend on the type of loan you borrowed and the type of nursing you perform.<\/p>\n<h3>1. National Health Service Corps Loan Repayment<\/h3>\n<p>Nurse practitioners and nurse midwives can receive up to $50,000 in loan repayment assistance through the <a href=\"https:\/\/nhsc.hrsa.gov\/loan-repayment\/nhsc-loan-repayment-program.html\">National Health Service Corps Loan Repayment program<\/a>. In exchange, you\u2019ll have to serve for two years as a full-time employee at a National Health Services-approved site.<\/p>\n<p>Both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/student-loans\/federal-student-loans-guide\/\">federal loans<\/a> and private student loans are eligible for loan forgiveness through this program.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Nurse Corps Loan Repayment<\/h3>\n<p>The U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration operates the <a href=\"https:\/\/bhw.hrsa.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/bhw\/loans-scholarships\/nurse-corps\/fy-2019-nclrp-apg.pdf\">Nurse Corps Loan Repayment program<\/a>. If eligible, you could have up to 85% of your federal and private student loans discharged through this program.<\/p>\n<p>Registered Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, Advanced Practice Registered Nurses, and Nurse Faculty may qualify. As part of the program, you must agree to work for at least two years in a critical shortage facility.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Learn More:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/student-loans\/private-student-loan-forgiveness\/\">Private Student Loan Forgiveness<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>3. Public Service Loan Forgiveness<\/h3>\n<p>If you work for a not-for-profit organization or government agency, you may be eligible for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/refinance-student-loans\/public-service-loan-forgiveness\/\">Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF)<\/a>. With PSLF, select federal loans can be discharged if you work full-time for an eligible employer for 10 years while making 120 qualifying monthly payments.<\/p>\n<p>Payments made under an income-driven repayment plan, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/refinance-student-loans\/pay-as-you-earn-repayment-plan\/\">Pay As You Earn<\/a>, will qualify. If you still have a balance after 10 years of making payments, PSLF will discharge the remaining balance. The forgiven amount isn\u2019t taxable as income.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Perkins Loan cancellation<\/h3>\n<p>If you have federal Perkins Loans, you could have 100% of your loans discharged after working for five years for an eligible employer as a nurse. To see if you qualify, contact your loan servicer or the school that handled your loan.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Income-driven repayment forgiveness<\/h3>\n<p>Another option is income-driven repayment forgiveness. If you have federal loans and can\u2019t afford your payments, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/refinance-student-loans\/income-based-repayment\/\">sign up for an income-driven repayment plan<\/a>. With this approach, your payment term is extended to 20 to 25 years, and your payments are capped at a percentage of your discretionary income.<\/p>\n<p>After 20 to 25 years of making payments, the remaining loan balance is forgiven. While the forgiven balance is taxable as income, it can still be a valuable benefit.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"state-forgiveness-programs\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>State forgiveness programs<\/h2>\n<p>If you don\u2019t qualify for one of the national loan forgiveness programs, you may still be eligible for a state program. To recruit and retain top talent to work in underserved areas, some states will help you repay some of or all your student loans in exchange for a service commitment.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Colorado has the Nurse Faculty Loan Repayment program. If you have a master\u2019s degree in nursing and are working as a Nurse Faculty member, you could receive up to $40,000 in loan repayment assistance if you make a two-year service commitment.<\/p>\n<p>In Louisiana, certified nurse practitioners and nurse midwives could qualify for the Louisiana State Loan Repayment program. If you agree to a three-year service commitment, you could receive up to $15,000 per year in loan repayment assistance for your federal and private student loans.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nursejournal.org\/resources\/student-loan-forgiveness-for-nurses-by-state\/\">Check with your state<\/a> to see if it offers a loan forgiveness program for nurses.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>See The Full List:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/refinance-student-loans\/student-loan-forgiveness-programs\/\">Student Loan Forgiveness Programs<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a name=\"if-you-are-not-eligible-for-loan-forgiveness\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>If you\u2019re not eligible for loan forgiveness<\/h2>\n<p>Unfortunately, not everyone will qualify for a loan forgiveness program. If you aren\u2019t eligible for loan discharge, another option to consider is student loan refinancing. With this approach, you work with a private lender to take out a new loan for the amount of your current debt. The new loan has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/student-loans\/repayment-options-private-student-loans\/\">different repayment terms<\/a>, including interest rate and monthly payment.<\/p>\n<p>In some cases, you could qualify for a lower rate, which might help you save money over the length of your loan.
