Canada has programs for foreign trained nurses. Especially ones fluent in English. We’ll take her, pay her, give her healthcare, pension, union membership, and no guns.

First, the right side fails, and the blood can’t pump its way back to the heart, so it gets stuck in the lower extremities, which results in edema. Then, it pumps harder and faster to try and help things move along. Then, excess fluid gets stuck in the lungs, breathing is hard. You basically drown.
