How much debt is too much for an RN with her bachelor's?Rating: (votes: 0) Obviously, it depends on your lifestyle and other expenses. But the standard recommendation for student debt is to never take out more debt than what your yearly salary will be in your first year or two after graduation. That's assuming of course, that you will be working full time for several years after you graduate and not taking time off to travel, have babies, etc. That's also assuming that you don't have other debts to pay off -- such as a car loan, credit card debt, etc.Add up all your debts/obligations ... and compare that to what you will earn in the first few years after graduation. Assuming you are not going to be taking time significant time off in the soon after graduation, the $30,000 figure seems OK. But that depends on the rest of your financial situation. Comment: I have 15k from an adn, but I only worked 20hrs a week at $7/hr so most of that was living expenses. My program was around 6k. Its not hard to live with.Comment: You do have to concider is your area over saturated with Nurses if it is, then yes 30.000 is way to much. If the area you live is desperate for nurses then it is acceptable.
