Nurse Convicted of Vehicular Manslaughter

The Cincinnati Enquirer regularly mentions that an individual is a nurse when he or she is charged or convicted of ANY crime. It makes the paper in Cincinnati and this week alone THREE instances of criminal conduct involving nurses was mentioned in the Cincinnati Enquirer.

I don't think its a case of Nurses Gone Wild!

Its a reflection of the garden variety criminal conduct you see with American citizens; it just so happens this individual is a licensed professional or a licensed healthcare professional.

See this article. This nurse fell asleep after driving home from a 12 hour shift and struck and killed a man.
