Nursing shortage ?

[Trekfan]

So I here people talk about the nursing shortage all the. Time here so I found this story odd . I was chating with the nurse I had in the hospital and told me " I have no idea how I ended up in nursing I went to school to be a teacher " she then told me she had been a cna and the hospital she worked at had a large nursing shortage that was so bad they where bring in people from over seas . So they told her they would pay for her schooling ,pay her as was at work full time when she was at school and give. Her a job at the end of school . That sounds like a grate deal to me

But this was the first I had heard of hospital bringing people in from overseas ?
