This may be true for some professions, but I can tell you from 36 years working as an R.N. this is not the case with the nursing profession. I have witnessed many a colleague have their licenses suspended, a few permanently revoked, and one nurse I worked with served time after being convicted of stealing liquid morphine from a hospice patient. BTW, it was another nurse who witnessed the theft of the morphine, reported it, and her testimony at the trial led to the conviction.
