New credit cards with introductory low or no interest periods can be used to tide you over. Transfer higher interest balances to them. Once you are working, work overtime for a set period and get yourself out of the hole. I didn't notice where you live, but in Florida they have special mortgage incentives to live in certain areas for nurses. I know the USPHS system had a way that if you worked for them, you could get your student loans paid off. that was years ago though. Google it. Deferrment for studentl loans are a possibility, so call them. Also call your creditors and discuss your scenerio, ask for a deferrment of payment until you are actively employed. Also, keep in mind, your finished with school!!! A little bit longer and you will be out of debt. One good thing with nursing is the easy availability of overtime. Signing a seasonal contract with some facilities can give you a higher rate of pay. So, work your regular job and have another contract for 12-24 hours else where. It is just short term, and if you have the stamina, it could work. Some travel companies, you only have to be over 50 miles away, so you could commute to a second job and get the living stipend plus salary!! Keep your chin up. It will be OK.

Great Advice. Thanks.
That's great advice. Wish you were there back when.
