I’m a traveling License Practical Nurse and worked as a nurse for over a decade now. I worked consistently for 4 years in a nursing facility 2010 to 2015. Am i eligible for any loan forgiveness program? Really appreciate your response. Thank you.

In reply to Kim Shaffer. Your best bet is likely Public Service Loan Forgiveness. You need to fill out the employment certification form - after 10 years/120 payments, your loans are forgiven. Past qualifying payments count - so if you've been there a few years you might be at a good point! Read about it above or see our full article on it here: Public Service Loan Forgiveness.

In reply to Robert Farrington. Consolidated. Non-profit. Directly employed as an LPN.

In reply to Kim. Did you consolidate or refinance? Consolidation means you still have federal loans. Do you work for a non-profit or for-profit? Are you directly employed by the hospital, or are you a 1099 contractor?
