Drunk On The Job Edit
A Growing Trend






Drunk On The Job - A Growing Trend (VIDEO)
A Growing Trend
 Posted: Apr 27, 07

Being drunk on the job may sound like a dream if you’re joking around, but a growing number of healthcare professionals, police officers and others in positions of authority are reportedly drunk on the job - with the breath to prove it. (Not to mention Paula Abdul.)

Dear Cindy: I'm new to nursing, and during a shift the other night, I think my coworker was drunk. She wasn't falling down drunk, or anything, but she did have a smell of alcohol on her and didn't quite seem "all there." Should I report her? Dear VVC: This is an easy answer: For patient safety reasons, she has to be reported. She has to be reported ASAP before someone is harmed or killed. Hopefully it was a one-time thing that will never happen again, but if she has a problem, she's definitely not alone in her addiction. Research by one of our writers found that 10 to 15% of all healthcare professionals misuse drugs at some time in their careers. And help is available: Hospitals and/or licensing bodies have voluntary recovery programs in place to help people with addiction problems. (medhunters)
