"Male nurses are disproportionately represented among caretakers who harm patients.... the 146,000 male registered nurses represent 5 to 7 percent of all nurses yet are responsible for more than one-third who have killed patients in the U.S. since 1975. " It has nothing to do with nurses. The rate is approximately six times the rate for females. The same could be said of any group, for example, "Among holders of California driver's licenses, there are 6 times as many males who have committed murder than females." As a former prison medic, I'd like to ask that you please don't smear males in health care. Males have a significantly higher pre-disposition for aggressivess. It has nothing to do with the job. Thanks.

Everett Rice should have interviewed any nurse he was hiring, especially a male nurse.

I didn't mean to offend you.
I'll bet you had to undergo a job interview.
Michael didn't.
