yes but this begs the obvious question of "why?", which either leads to the immediate thoughts of

1. not enough people want to be nurses 2. companies don't want to hire more nurses

I'm assuming #1 is false, so #2 is the go-to conclusion, at least on the high level. I'm sure I'm missing some more nuanced #3/4/5 explanations, but it does seem to ultimately come down to money that isn't being spent (be it maliciously or simply due to not having the budget).
