I think the issue here is this student has already been accepted to this bachelors in nursing program.

I still say, if she has the right undergrad, she should have applied to the bachelors to nursing programs in her state. Where I live, these are 18 months long and are fully funded…because we need nurses.

I believe private loans will be the only option for this second bachelors degree (above the Direct Loan amount)

The right undergrad? I’m not sure what that is… She has a BS in Nutrition. The only Masters programs we have seen are for those that already are a nurse or have a BSN. Her options were either go to community college become an RN then continue for her BSN or do the 2nd Bachelors.

There are programs where you enter in with a bachelors in an unrelated major and graduate with a MSN RN degree. (I work at one so I know a bit about them).
