Ou contraire, George. Tacoma, WA just brought in several nurses from the
Philippines. Other places are bringing in nurses from S. Africa. There is a
nursing shortage/crisis all across America. Most are working too much
overtime. "60 Minutes" just ran a story on this a couple weeks back.
But I would agree with you about health care being a good field. We baby
boomers are getting creaky. Elder care is growing much faster than the no.
of employees majoring in it.
