I had a guy one time try to shove nursing/healthcare down my throat and said "you'll be in it someday." I think I nicely responded that would be a cold day in hell. Just not my thing.

It's not that medical professionals aren't needed, it's that they may be hiring LPNs (or whatever that designation is called) instead of RNs, or they may have to look other places for a job (such as being a home health aide).
