Nursing Jobs In Trouble Despite Real Demand

In this Hypen article about the slowdown of hiring of nurses and medical professionals in the States, he brings about several things that's happening around the world, and how it affects the employment of nurses.

Let me point out three facts and try to make sense out of them:
1. There is an ever increasing need for nursing care around the world
2. There is more than enough supply of capable nurses from the Philippines
3. Yet hospitals everywhere are laying off workers by the hundreds

How is this possible? The problem is not the supply nor the real demand for nurses and other health care professionals. The only possible answer is that these same countries who are in need of, actually have no money to pay for, nursing care.
