On episode 185, the RNFM Radio crew discuss money, student loans, college tuition and income, especially in relation to the recent news that government in the United Kingdom are considering doing away with “nurse bursaries”, programs that provide grants and stipends to nursing students. Protests are popping up around the UK, and it’s clear that the times are changing socioeconomically around the world. What’s happening where you live and work?
Meanwhile, we’re aware that the Nurse Corps Loan Repayment Program is open for applications once every year, with the 2016 cutoff for applications being February 25th at 7:30pm ET.
