When I graduated in the mid-90's, we were going through a similar "market contraction". The big teaching hospitals were only hiring those students who had been working for them as a student nurse. If you weren't already in the teaching hospital as an employee, then you didn't get access to the new grad internships that they offered. That may be what is going on.
