We enjoyed an inflated supply of teachers and nurses for a long time


For several generations of our economic growth, women entering the workforce had (essentially) three choices: secretary, teacher, and nurse. About 50% of med school grads today are women. I can only speculate how many of those folks would have been nurses 50 years ago.

You bring up a great point re: the aging population. I think we all just assume we'll have a nurse when we need one, but that might be foolhardy. On the anecdotal side, a nurse who got fired from my wife's practice for some concerning behavior (telling patients not to listen to certain advice from the physician) had no trouble getting her next gig.
