Appalling "solution" to nursing shortage

[Mr. Bloom]

While I will acknowledge that this is a strange approach - as opposed to simply giving them an equivalent pay raise - I am curious to understand why this is so appalling.

They are:

• choosing this from a range of options - would you feel the same way about braces to straighten their teeth?
• doing this with free will
• doing this in consistency with their own cultural attitudes - which we shouldn't be second guessing...
• apparently feel better about themselves because of it, and
• even offering the same options to men, or so it appears

I would love the opportunity to get a hair transplant if it were offered to me as a perq, but it's not something that I'd pay for to feed my own vanity...

Silver is very open about having gotten implants (even over my resistance and objection) after losing 1/3 of her body weight in training. Is that an appalling act when it had the equivalent effect of reconstructive surgery to a breast cancer survivor?

Jolt: I understand that you find this appalling and I respect that fact. But for reasons I've noted, I don't understand and welcome your insight and perspective on why
