Live longer. Be a nurse?

Posted at 4:03 PM on January 4, 2008 by Bob Collins (1 Comments)

Today's research of note:

Nurses have a lower risk of dying from several afflictions than non-nurses.

But you knew there had to be another shoe to drop.

The longer you're a nurse, the greater your chances of dying from cancer.

No at all a suprise. Nursing is a total stress, low pay, much responsibility/little authority profession. Most nurses are women with multiple other life stressors. The jobs are so stressful that few nurses work full time. A perfect breeding ground for cancer cells....
