Loan help for nurse anesthetists and dietitians
The law adds nurse anesthetists and dietitian nutritionists to Nebraska’s rural health incentive program. Students in accredited Nebraska programs can get up to $30,000 per academic year in student loans. Program-wide total caps apply based on program type. Licensed nurse anesthetists and dietitian nutritionists who work full time in a designated shortage area can get up to $15,000 per year in loan repayment, capped at $45,000 total. To qualify for repayment, you must be licensed in Nebraska, not in a residency, not on a provisional or temporary license, accept Medicaid patients, and practice in a designated shortage area. The Rural Health Commission can now designate shortage areas for these professions.
