Sustaining pathways for post-baccalaureate nursing education is crucial to supporting the health of our nation. As such, we thank Congresswoman Jen Kiggans for her letter urging the Department of Education to roll back proposed limits on student loans for nurses pursuing these programs.

Thank you to Rep. Lauren Underwood for underscoring the importance of protecting federal student loan access for our current and future nurses.

We applaud the more than 140 bipartisan, bicameral members of Congress who signed onto a letter supporting nursing as a professional degree. Protecting opportunities for post-baccalaureate nursing education will benefit patients in all communities. bit.ly/4iY9jxn
