Nursing groups urge U.S. to reclassify nursing programs to boost student aid and address shortages.
On March 7, 2026, multiple healthcare organizations and professionals urged the U.S. Department of Education to revise proposed rules affecting federal student aid and loan forgiveness for nursing students.
They argued that reclassifying nursing programs as professional degrees would improve access to funding, support workforce recruitment and retention, and better reflect the advanced training and critical role nurses play in healthcare.
Concerns were raised that current policies could worsen nursing shortages, particularly in underserved areas, and hinder efforts to expand care in high-demand fields like neonatal and Alzheimer’s care.
The comments are part of a broader push to align federal education policy with modern healthcare needs.
