密歇根州将近三分之一的护士面临沉重的学生债务,威胁到劳动力的稳定性和获得护理的机会。 Nearly a third of Michigan nurses face heavy student debt, threatening workforce stability and access to care.

密歇根大学的一项研究发现,密歇根州有近三分之一的护士背负着大笔学生贷款债务,许多人由于财政紧张和工资低而考虑离开该职业。 A University of Michigan study finds nearly a third of Michigan nurses carry significant student loan debt, with many considering leaving the profession due to financial strain and low pay. 高级执业护士的中值债务为66 420美元,欠下近29%的债务超过10万美元,超过了拟议的联邦贷款上限。 Median debt for advanced practice nurses is $66,420, and nearly 29% owe over $100,000—exceeding proposed federal loan caps. 调查结果警告说,限制借贷可减少高级护理作用,削弱获得护理的机会,阻碍劳动力发展,敦促决策者保持灵活的贷款选择和扩大偿还方案。 The findings warn that restricting borrowing could reduce advanced nursing roles, weaken care access, and hinder workforce development, urging policymakers to maintain flexible loan options and expand repayment programs.
