Nursing organizations are ā€œdeeply concernedā€ after the occupation has been ā€œexcludedā€ by definition as a ā€œprofessional degreeā€ by the Department of Education.

The decision is part of the sweeping cuts to student loans, overseen by Education Secretary Linda McMahon, laid out in President Donald Trump’s ā€œOne Big Beautiful Bill Act.ā€

The move has alarmed nursing organizations, which warned that limiting student nurses’ access to funding ā€œthreatens the very foundation of patient care.ā€
