They still do import Filipina Nuses, but it's a numbers problem. They only graduate so many each year, and the number they produce doesn't keep up with increases needed here due tothe aging population, and of course COVID which required such a rapid increase it left a hole of trainees behind it. Accelerated training programs and early graduation drained them dry.
The second problem is the same demographic problems are true in all the developed countries, so we're not the only country competing for immigrants to fill these jobs which require a decent amount of training like Nursing and Trucking. The Euros need the immigrants, so do the Japanese and even the Indians. Places which used to be net exporters of immigrants are now net importers. Particularly in skilled professions, this is a global problem.
