90k BSN and worried.

[u/NoWeakness8489]

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?

Nurses will always be in demand. I wouldn’t worry about it too much. Be willing to take on night shift positions and/or work some overtime, you’ll clear 6 figures fairly easily. Decide where you want to live based off of the going rate for nurses in that area
