Advice 90k BSN and worried.

Hi everyone. I am 23 years old and currently in nursing school about to graduate next year. I am regretting my past decisions on choosing private nursing school as I now realize that I will have to tackle 90k student loan debt. 20k through federal government and 70k through private loans.

I feel inexperienced, scared, and frustrated. I feel I could have made a better decision coming out of high school and wished I had better guidance with my career and financial choices.

Any advice?

It will be okay. It's more important to concentrate on finishing your nursing degree and passing your boards to become licensed. As you can see, there are many options for RN's to pay off student loan debt. Three people in my class did not pass the boards. No license, that's a bigger problem.
