The U.S. proposes reclassifying nurse practitioner programs as non-professional, risking student loan access and worsening healthcare shortages.
The U.S. Department of Education has proposed reclassifying nurse practitioner programs as non-professional degrees, potentially cutting off federal student loans for NP students.
The change, part of broader student aid reforms, could deter enrollment, worsening healthcare provider shortages—especially in rural and underserved areas.
NPs, who provide nearly one billion patient visits annually and are the largest group of Medicare-designated providers, would lose access to higher loan limits.
Professional nursing organizations warn the rule misrepresents NP qualifications and threatens access to care, urging the Department to revise the proposal.
Final rules are pending public comment and review.
