12. Oh and let's not forget about all the addicted nurses who give those drug injections.

In general, it is estimated that 10% of the population has the disease of addiction. Nurses are equally as susceptible to alcoholism, but are at a higher risk for drug addiction. Some studies have indicated that it may be 50% higher than the general population. There are 60,000 nurses in Connecticut, 45,000 in active practice. Applying these statistics to the nursing community in our state means that 4,500-6,000 nurses are at risk for this disease.

I wonder how many people die from drugged up nurses?
