HealthDay (2/6, Preidt) reports, “Nurses are at elevated risk for suicide, but the issue gets little attention, researchers report,” as “their study of 2005-2016 U.S. government data found the suicide rate among female nurses was significantly higher (10 per 100,000) than that of the general female population (7 per 100,000). The rate among male nurses (33 per 100,000) was also higher than in the general male population (27 per 100,000).” The study was published online February 3 in the journal WORLDviews on Evidence Based-Nursing.
