Despite the higher pay, the number of people going into nursing is
dropping rapidly.

Do you have anything to back that up?

It's not a secret, RC. Rather common knowledge, actually, but I'm sure
some school figures could be located, if it really matters.

I seriously doubt that the number of people going into nursing are dropping
rapidly or dropping at all. I'd like to see the figures. Here's some from
NY:

http://www.op.nysed.gov/nursecounts.htm

From 2001 -2005: a 35% increase in RN license issued, a 41% increase in LPN
licenses issued and a 21% drop in nurse practitioners.

Overall, a net increase in the number of nursing licenses issued.

As I said, facts+logic wins every time.
