Oh, that's easy, to me -- Madam Pomfrey has a particular talent in 
healing magic.  We know that wizards have "strong suits" already, 
right?  It would make sense to me that "nurse at Hogwarts" would be
a logical position for a witch who was particularly good at medical
magic.

That doesn't address the other question, about why some magical
illnesses are incurable.  I'll have to think more about that one.
