Not only did I stupidly put myself into 6 figures worth of debt for nursing school, I now have to fear losing my license and landing in jail every time I administer a medication. I am already a walking liability because I have less experience due to Covid. Heck, I just found out today I can lose my nursing license if I don’t pay off my student loans.
I know I don’t have much choice, I have sick parents to take care of, but damn. I am so unhappy. Not only nurses overworked and underpaid, the work environment is the most toxic shit you’ve seen in some places. I graduate next year. No hope for me to change to a different career and pay off my loans quick enough unfortunately.
I am glad to be helping people but the fact I live in a city and a high interest rate on my loans kills my chances of affording to move out on my own ever. I am a good person and a good daughter. Surrounded by other good people in my family who gave up everything so I won’t have to go through the things they went through, only to be a slave to money and loans like them too.
