If have a nursing degree it's easy to immigrate to USA, in fact you will be coming in with a green card unlike tech worker. So to your point, US does prioritize nurses over others. Doctors are different and it's incredibly difficult for a doctor with a foreign degree to practice in US. I know this for a fact since I come a place where almost every other house has a nurse working in Europe/US

Immigrant doctors have to be willing to live in the least popular parts of the US.

> One reason USCIS may grant the national interest waiver is because a physician agrees to work for a period of time in a designated underserved area.
