Probably to fill the chronically shortage of nurses. It is a tough job and pay is mediocre. I was married to a nurse for a long time.
Pay’s actually pretty good, at least up here in the US. But imports always lower pay.
Just pay American nurses!
Oh, and stop requiring watered-down bachelor’s degrees for basic nursing.
Far better to have rigorous two-year programs than BS BS’s, if you will.
Was she an ICU nurse? Because in our hospital those were pulling $100k a year easy. They cannot get enough of them.
