Well, this was asked before
Where do you hail from ?
BTW, nursing jobs don't pay well, unless the candidate is good enough to convince a private hospital to go the whole 9 yards in the paperwork etc.
I would talk to nursing agencies - my ex is a nurse and that was a decent paying option for her.
However nursing here is a bit like taxi driving - sort of reserved for SC's and PR's and FT's from certain countries - it doesn't seem to be an open profession.
There's also the issue of having her EN/RN registration or licence converted. EN's are time served apprentice nurses here and RN's are time served / degree holding nurses.

she may have better luck in the Hospice, but most work is a care giver .. if you want her to work . period
For nursing jobs, you are on the right track .. talk to agencies, especially those who are operating in India ..
Hospitals here rarely recruit locally, as agents take care of all paperwork and stuff.
