- Maybe it's
the high-stress environment or the thrill of the investigation.
Or maybe it's the shared desire to help others. Whatever
the reason, cops and nurses are drawn to each other professionally
and personally, and while it can be risky to mix business
with pleasure, when it works, these altruistic individuals
say there's nothing better. Although there are no statistics
on how many nurses and cops are involved on and off the
job, the coupling of these professionals is an undeniable
trend.
