A federal judge has prevented the Trump administration from enforcing a new rule that would have reduced federal student loan borrowing limits for graduate students in nursing and several other healthcare-related programs.

On June 24, U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell of the District of Columbia ruled in favor of eight professional organizations, including the American Association of Nurse Practitioners and the PA Education Association, which had challenged the rule before its planned July 1 implementation date.
