Summary
The U.S. Education Department has announced that nursing will be reclassified as a hobby rather than a profession under new student loan regulations. Education Secretary Linda McMahon described nursing as a "fun little side project" and stated that while degrees in fields like veterinary medicine, law, and podiatry will still receive full financing, nursing students will have limited loan access. The announcement suggests nursing is something people do "in between shifts at Buffalo Wild Wings" rather than a serious occupation.
