ANA Launches Grassroots Campaign Against Student Loan Caps for Nurses

After a successful petition campaign with more than 236,000 signatures to protest the proposed caps on federal student loans for post-baccalaureate nurses, the American Nurses Association (ANA) officially launched our grassroots efforts by asking nurses to logon to RNAction.org and write to their members of Congress. So far, supporters of this effort have made more than 1,330 phone calls and sent more than 14,900 letters to members of Congress. In addition, nurses have submitted 710 stories on how these caps would affect the nursing professions and the workforce pipeline if they were to take effect.
