Oh my! Background check for lenders but not for NURSES?

A very sad story was just reported on one of the local television shows from a father's perspective about a nurse stealing pain killing drugs from his recently deceased daughter, a 28 year old melonoma patient.

That is the very sad part. The shocking part is who regulates that industry... DORA! The same regulatory agency that governs mortgage lenders and real estate agents! Ok, are you sitting down??? THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT FOR BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR NURSES!! Why? They say because of the expense???

WHOA... as professional lenders, it was legislated that we had to pay the expense for a background check if we wanted to be licensed. Yet, the same is not expected of a professional who is responsible for our lives???

Is it me, or is something a little strange here???
