According to UK newspaper The Guardian, Jacintha and her husband moved to Britain nine years ago, having qualified as a nurse in India and pursuing further advanced nursing qualifications in Muscat after that. So she was neither inexperienced, nor a newcomer to England.

Certainly the Guardian article I cited quotes Reverend Sister Aileen Mathias, chief nursing officer at the Father Muller Medical College where Mrs. Saldanha trained in Mangalore, India as saying she was: ‘… a very efficient, intelligent and lively personality, who had won laurels in her nursing studies.’
As to the 'other nurse,' it's possible (but I don't know) that that nurse was and is in the direct employ of the royal family. If so, that would certainly explain why her (or his?) identity has been kept out of the public domain.
Let's see what, if anything, is revealed by the inquest.
