Support needed to help nurses tackle substance abuse, Vanderbilt University:"An estimated 10 percent to 20 percent of nurses and nursing students in the United States may have substance abuse, misuse, dependency or addiction problems.

"Doctors and nurses are only human and face the same problems as everyone else, which can include chemical dependency," said Monroe." ****************************************************** Addiction Nurses:

Alcohol And Health, David J. Hanson, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Sociology:"Moderate drinkers tend to have better health and live longer than those who are either abstainers or heavy drinkers. In addition to having fewer heart attacks and strokes, moderate consumers of alcoholic beverages (beer, wine or distilled spirits or liquor) are generally less likely to suffer hypertension or high blood pressure, peripheral artery disease, Alzheimer's disease and the common cold.

What is Addiction? Recovery First:"Addiction is a disease recognized by the American Medical Association. It is not a moral deficiency, and addicts are not bad people. Prescription drug addiction is one form of this disease. For someone who becomes addicted to a prescription drug, the process may start with an injury that requires the use of pain medication, or a surgery that takes time to heal. Benzodiazepines are frequently prescribed for intermittent insomnia or anxiety. Stimulants are given to people with weight problems and for treatment of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. All of these are typical reasons to begin taking a potentially addictive drug, and for most people, the drug use ends when the problem ends. People can take these medications for years and not develop a problem." ******************************************************
