How exactly, can we have a 'glut of nurses' & at the same time, a shortage of nurses....??!

The job placement system for nurse graduates is ridiculous.

My step son's partner completed her nurse qual's and went into a a kind of lottery system for placement back into the public health arena where she had been posted during her training. She ended up working for a workplace drug testing company, then a Maori health organisation and is now working in the drug rehabilitation sector for a well known social support agency. Why aren't these new trainees not being absorbed by the public sector? Bad organisation and administration, but the immigrant nurses seem to be finding their way in. Go figure.
