Dangers of nursing

Nurses Safety

Published

Can someone working out there give me a run down on dangers of nursing.

LIke disease dangers, insurance problems, losing your license etc.

Thanks =)

don't forget that all these risks occur in the general population as well. Just being exposed to the public puts us all at some risks. The alternative is to be a hermit, I suppose, but the pay is really bad.

I wasn't being facetious - I honestly needed clarification as to what OP (Koan) wanted! Most of my safety issues in the ER deal with drunk and high patients/families. Yes - assault is a very real danger at least in the inner city ER where I work! As to losing your license - way too many ways to do that to list here.
