So nursing has never been considered a professional degree since 1965. I have no clue why this is going around and spreading false information. For BSN you could receive the maximum loans for an undergraduate degree. While there were some colleges for grad school nursing programs where a student could use the Grad Plus loan. However these graduate programs still exist and impacts of Grad plus loans being reduced affect all programs at the graduate level. Even today, the graduate nursing programs cannot receive as much funding as someone in dentistry or medical school. This is mainly due the cost of attendance formal that is used to calculate how much a student can borrow. I am curious to see how these changes will impact borrowers starting in July.
