Could be the depression, but I wonder if it has something to do with the part about her being "over-qualified?" Depending on what that means, it may be that she's not seen as someone who will be committed to nursing, rather than completing the program and then moving on to something else in a few years.
That's only offered, by the way, because I live in a state with a serious shortage of nurses, AND a serious shortage of slots in nursing school. The nursing programs are all so impacted most of the time that people spend years on the waiting list before they finally get in. (At least, that's how it was last time I noticed.) Under conditions like that, the admissions committees are pretty strict whom they accept.
Just one thought, and may not apply at all...
