Strangely enough, relatively few. I've only seen one actual staff member (a college summer intern) admitted to our hospital ... oh wait, and there was someone in administration that we had to quietly send to alcohol rehab about 9 years ago. We tend to be relatively resilient.
Our problems tend to center more around things like the psych tech who was murdered by his crazy girlfriend two years ago yesterday, IIRC. That was right after my best friend's suicide (also a staff member), so we were a bit emotionally numb for a while. 2002 was a particularly bad year ... two deaths from natural causes, one suicide, one murder, and one part time nurse who drank herself to death. We're actually starting another round of this ... staff member died in her sleep last week, just before that the 13 y.o. son of one of our folks hung himself, and a former employee's son died of a herion overdose.
