    “You don’t think of medical professionals doing this, but 10% of medical professionals divert drugs. 10%… That’s a lot.”

    That’s an unbelievably high percentage.

    Googling around, I see

    One in 10 healthcare workers misuse drugs (or alcohol) during their career, which is similar to the percentage seen in the general population; however, the diversion trend is slightly different in healthcare, as workers in this setting are more likely to misuse prescription drugs rather than illicit drugs.

    Which is very different from the quote in the article.

      I thought she was injecting them with water because she didn’t like them.

      She was such an incompetent nurse that she switch the fentanyl for water because she wanted to steal the fentanyl? WTF. Literally anyone could go find that shit on the street in an hour if they wanted to. Hope this mass murderer gets the book thrown at them.

        Our demand for nurses is high, and a key part to our current solution is to under-train them, and lower our standards for what it takes to be a nurse, to be about to pump out more at a fast rate.

        Source: know a dozen nurses, some who have graduated as recently as this year. The questions in the exams they take are nothing short of ridiculous oftentimes, they’re just checking for a pulse, two brain cells, and a very vague gist of medical concepts behind the minimum on what it takes to know to perform the manual tasks of their job

        Why do you think there were so many anti-vax nurses? It’s ignorance paired with the ego inflation they get from people assuming they are more knowledgeable than they are.
