CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY DISCIPLINE PROGRAM

The Program is a disciplinary program for a nurse whose competency may be impaired because of the use of drugs and/or alcohol.  The nurse, for various reasons, is not eligible for the Alternative Program for Chemical Dependency.  Participation in the program is public information and documents are posted at the on-line verification system which further describe the specific case.

Objectives of the Chemical Dependency Discipline Program include the following:

1)  To ensure the health and safety of the public through a program that closely monitors nurses impaired by drugs and/or alcohol;

2)   Provide a process for nurses to recover from impairment and become safe practitioners.
