By Jan Murphy | jmurphy@pennlive.com
Nurses across Pennsylvania will begin receiving notifications next week about whether they are eligible for a share of the $55 million the state is making available to lower or erase their student loan debt.
The money for Pa. Student Loan Relief for Nurses Program comes out of states share of federal American Rescue Plan funds. This one-time offer will relieve selected state-licensed nurses who cared for patients during the COVID-19 pandemic at a Pennsylvania health care facility of up to $7,500 of student loan debt.

And we force states to bailout nurses with a measly $55 million. That's less than 0.1 percent of what we are planning to give away to the Filthy Rich.
Things like this will cause the next crash
