Nursing as a choice or as a need

Nursing as a choice or as a need?
It seems that in these days of crisis many people get into nursing. Before it was something not chosen but now it looks like a nice way to get a good job not being able to find something else. Does this happen in the USA too? Greetings from Italy.

Yes, but it is harder and harder to get a job as a new graduate now. First, because nurses are coming out of retirment due to the economy. Hospitals would rather hire a 30 year veteran than a new grad that they would need to train for the first 6 months. Second, the census in hospitals are down. a lot of hospitals are on freezes right now, and if they arent, then they are not in need of too many nurses. full time nurses are getting cut in the middle of their shift or being called off. If youre a per diem nurse, forget about it. they have no work for you.
