7. It’s Payback Time
A nurse in Australia has been convicted of “borrowing” more than $46,500 from generous-hearted patients starting in 2007. After providing care for terminally or critically ill patients, she would then visit them at their homes to beg for money. She made up sob stories about not being able to keep a roof over her family’s head or a no-good husband who had cleaned out their joint bank account. She asked the patients never to tell anyone about the loans. Unfortunately for her, patient/nurse confidentiality doesn’t work that way. She’s been banned from reapplying for work as a nurse for three years. Now, she really will need a loan to see her through the hard financial times!
