What are the odds we'll have H1b lawyers coming in next? Nah, that won't happen as the ABA is a racket.
Hey, I welcome the competition. Not to be snotty, but the comparison between nurses and lawyers fails largely because of health care by its nature must be institutionalized,thus standardized, whereas the legal profession remains largely an independent and therefore subjective profession.
This means that the legal profession remains very competitive, and that the little guys (or girls, like myself) can succeed if they are smart enough and work hard enough. On the other hand, the institutionalized nursing profession does not reward ingenuity or industry, making it subject to the price wars of other commodities.
