One comment he made that struck me was that nurses don't get paid very well, especially when one considers the expense to get the nursing education.

Is that true? Google tells me that average salary for nurses is just under $100K per year (on the high end for college grads), and that starting salary averages around $64K per year (which is significantly higher than that for college graduates generally). Those salary levels are also considerably higher than in most other western economies.

That premium is certainly enough to make it worthwhile to get a nursing degree. Average amount of borrowing for such a degree is about $20K-40K, and the salary premium in the first year is well over $10K.
