Description

New limits on federal student loans could reshape how the U.S. trains nurses and doctors. Under the One Big Beautiful 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. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders. Hosted on Acast.
