Nebraska Methodist College Program Offers Loan Cancellation to Future Nurse Educators

The Nurse Faculty Loan Program (NFLP) at Nebraska Methodist College (NMC) offers financial support to those pursuing a career as a nurse educator.

"Our aging population and changes in health care continue to escalate the demand for more nurses. We need nurse faculty to provide that education," said Marla Kniewel, MSN, EdD, RN, director of the MSN program at NMC. "The Nurse Faculty Loan Program provides the incentive and the financial support to recruit the professionals who will be charged with educating that next generation of nurses."

The NFLP provides low-interest loans to individuals pursuing a graduate degree and becoming faculty members within an accredited nursing program. At NMC, that means acceptance into the nurse educator track of the following programs:

• BSN to MSN
• RN to MSN
• Nurse Educator Post-master’s Nursing Certificate 
• DNP (with educator courses as electives)
• EdD - Education and Leadership in Healthcare

After graduating, you may qualify for cancellation of up to 85% of the loan principal and interest in exchange for four consecutive years as a full-time faculty member of an accredited nursing school.

“The Nurse Faculty Loan Program helped me focus on my continuing education without financial concerns,” said Taylor Timperley, an assistant professor at NMC and a graduate of the MSN Nurse Educator program.
