Should i worry about paying my student loans?

I’m a nursing student working towards a degree as an RN. I’ve heard that most hospitals and other places will pay back student loans for nurses…..it’s called “loan forgiveness.” Is this true?? Should i worry about taking out too much for student loans?

Student loans will affect your future financial situation immensely so pay attention when you apply for them. I would research student loan forgiveness programs before you make the decision. Ultimately, if you don’t have the money to pay for school, and don’t have grants or scholarships, then you don’t have a choice. There are lots of programs that offer student loan forgiveness as an incentive, but they are usually jobs that are unappealling. (hence the need for an incentive) This could mean that it’s in an extremely impoverished area, or extremely remote. It could also mean that it is for a particularly hard to fill position. The peace corps, military, and other government programs offers ome loan forgiveness as well, but again, it might not be the right choice for you. Do your homework before you plan on taking that route. Also, in today’s student loan world, make sure you investigate your lending options before you sign on the dotted line. There have been some shady goings on between lenders and schools lately. Hope that helps.
