Nursing organizations are “deeply concerned” after the occupation has been “excluded” by definition as a “professional degree” 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 “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.”

The move has alarmed nursing organizations, which warned that limiting student nurses’ access to funding “threatens the very foundation of patient care.”

        They’re absolutely gonna learn because they’ll be sitting in their own shit and getting bed sores and uti’s and all sorts of awful preventable diseases and there will be Cuomo to the nth power death tolls as a result, although while they are having the direct experience their children will likely be the ones most capable of grasping the true scale of it, but they won’t be able to do anything about it because they’ll all be working poor, if they’re lucky cry enough to be working at all.
