Go to the section at the BRN site that lists disciplinary action and start reading the documentation. You can find plenty. I've read there where a man was disciplined for sexual contact. The majority of the offenses are for diversion of controlled substances while at work. Sometimes you will get DUI. On occasion, theft. Once in a great while you can find something really juicy like some nurse killed her husband and is charged with murder or manslaughter. It is all there on the website.
You can also find examples of the disciplinary action for each case and a listing of potential actions and their explanations.
Thank you very much! What an interesting reading!
