Is it grammatically correct to have two prepositions in this sentence?

I saw the following sentence in my classmate’s written assignment: ‘The injured soldiers were well attended to by the nurses.’ It looks weird to have two prepositions to and by put right next to each other. Can you tell me whether this is a grammatically correct sentence?

Yes—it's just fine. There's nothing weird about two or more prepositions next to each other.
