Do others follow this practice?

[MrNurse(x2)]

Having done this career for 28 years, I have certain foundational practices that I don't stray from. The one that I get the most flak from is my refusal to count or witness for another male nurse if there is another option available. My rationale comes from studies that I have read that state males make up less than 10% of the nurse workforce but account for up to 50% of the narcotic thefts. Sadly, that has been my observation, also. What are your thoughts?

For the record, the comment about foleys.

Thinly veiled reference to an entertaining thread regular readers will remember.

OP, A+ for creativity. That's definitely a new one! You do realize, though, that the other 50% of thefts are by females, though, right?

LOL

True 50% so the other 50% are female that the best possible statistic one could wish for. So what you are saying is that the drug diversion is happening evenly among male and female nurses.

Holy hell. That is irrational thinking and an utterly rediculous practice.
