Hey Stee! Thanks for the reply! It's hard to ask or find help for nurses (and doctors) for the fear of rejection, stigma and ridicule, and not to mention being made redundant. I'm pretty spcertain that the rates of addiction and drug and alcohol problems are exceptionally high in the medical profession... I assume it's the high stress, long working hours, responsibility as well as access to medication that are aggravating factors. It's also a shame that there is hardly any support for doctors and nurses with addiction other than punishing them by suspending them or strucking them off... which often makes things a great deal worse!
