Speaking of Angels.
It was irresponsible of former Sheriff Everett Rice to hire Michael Schiavo as a male nurse for his jail, without even meeting Michael.
Male nurses have been about 6 times more likely to be killers than female nurses.
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.
Those statistics are amazing! While I've certainly known nice male nurses, I have noticed how some of them seem to turn into angels of death. Thanks for the info!
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.
