He can't be a mental health nurse because he's in jail

Well, well, another psychiatric nurse who stole money from a patient.

Only last month, Elizabeth Fayers was caught going down the local casino for a few spins of the reels with a patient's cash.

Now Adrian Mauger, who's been languishing in prison for the past few months for stealing £7,000 from a patient, has been dumped out of the nursing profession after it was deemed his actions "impaired his fitness to practice."

The politically correct language makes me cringe. Instead of saying "impaired his fitness to practice", it should say, "Mr Mauger has been convicted of a criminal offence and can't be a nurse any more because he's banged up in jail."
