I've always heard a lot of nurses struggle with addiction themselves or come from abusive households or have a family member(s) who is addicted to something. But I can't seem to find any articles or studies that prove this... I'd like to use this information for a presentation. Does anyone know of any articles written about this topic?
Why not interview nurses who fit this criteria, instead of reading a paper or study? Your presentation will most likely be more inspiring, and you will feel more connected to not only the presentation, but the addiction process as well. Just something to think about. Good luck. peace!

I haven't read any studies, but it's true in my life... My parents have both struggled with addiction. Currently they are sober, unless you count the hoarding... which I do. I don't really believe their issues influenced my choice to become a nurse, but I think it makes me more compassionate, and also mindful of my own boundries. I have learned that I can't fix anyone, I can only be so helpful, and I must take care of myself to be effective.Good luck!

I came across this http://www.realityrn.com/more-articl...an-addict/296/I am not a nurse YET and can't speak for the general population but for me there is truth in it. I do not have a problem with substances (thankfully) but I have several family members who do.
