Under the revamped list of
professional degree programs, nursing and other key health care jobs were excluded, triggering debate over how this could affect nurses’ ability to get approved for
student loans in the long run.
“Please remove the limitations of professions!” wrote Wendy Brindley Hines on Facebook. “As a PROFESSIONAL nurse who has her Masters Degree and as someone who has voted each time for you, I cannot believe that you would disrespect our profession!”
“Additionally, our middle daughter will graduate as a PT in 1 month, and our youngest is planning on becoming a Physician's Assistant. All of which take care of patients on a daily basis. Grad school is very expensive… trust me, I know! I have paid my way myself for each level of my education," she wrote.
Also
kicked off the list of professions (for increased student loan support) were architects, accountants, educators and social workers.
Well, at least theology is still on the list. Maybe your kids can get loans and do faith healing.
