Every hospital in the country has a nurse shortage. I don't know why she couldn't just walk into any hospital and say, "I need a job." They would probably ask her to start yesterday. Working for the VA kind of sucks too. We've had all sorts of doctors and nurses leave to work there only to return because it's terrible.
It sounds like he wants to be outraged....which makes sense because Trumpers need to be outraged over every single thing in existence.

As @Joey D mentioned, nursing is in demand. However, I also know people personally who just had offers rescinded due to the hiring freeze and are left now not starting the job they reorganized their lives to start. It's not just a dick move to rescind an offer, and needs to be reserved only for the most extreme circumstances, it's also generally bad for the federal government.
One of the ways the government kept costs down and salaries lower for federal employees was the appearance of stability and benefits. Rescinding offers and calling all remote workers (many of whom bought houses in other states on the basis that remote work was an embraced federal program) erases that stability. As a result, prices rise. Reclassifying federal employees as political appointees does the same. Canning DEI workers and trying to turn federal employees into spies turning in anyone doing anything suspected of DEI does the same.
I know that the goal is to prevent the government from functioning. But those same people are not going to be happy when the government doesn't function nearly as efficiently, and taxes rise, and waiting lines grow.
