NYSNA members at facilities across Northern New York are joining forces—to bargain for fair contracts that demand hospitals prioritize patients over profits and ensure access to care for North Country patients.

Make Your Voice Heard Against the DOE Proposed Rule to Limit Loans for Grad Nurses

In November, nurses around the country felt a gut-punch when the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) proposed new federal loan rules that would remove nursing from “professional degree” loan programs. Master of Science, nurse practitioner, certified registered nurse anesthetist, midwifery and other graduate degree programs would not be in the $200,000 cap “professional” category and would instead be capped at the generic graduate school level of $100,000. This change would put advanced degrees for nurses further out of financial reach.
