“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.

Presumably because of people like her.

Lol no. You aren't finding liquid medical grade fetanyl on the streets.

[–] FfaerieOxide@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You aren’t finding liquid medical grade fetanyl on the streets.

Not if nurses keep getting themselves arrested.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The vast majority of them have a personal problem. Ganked Fent liquid would be really hard to sell...

[–] FfaerieOxide@kbin.social 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The vast majority of them have a personal problem.

I mean if I kept getting arrested, I'd consider it a problem, too.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

I guess, but you're just directing words. All I am saying is any nurse who is doing this is almost certainly using it themselves or supplying their significant other. It's just not even a practical way to use Fentanyl at home.

I don't actually think most people are injecting Fentanyl or Heroin these days, the bigger group snorts it and when worse comes to worse they inject to get the even quicker rush, and with a better bioadvalability.
