Chemical Dependency

Do you suspect that a colleague has a chemical dependency? Do you have a chemical dependency?

Regardless of whether a nurse is diverting medication intended for patient use, stealing medication, or drinking excessively prior to and after shifts, the nurse needs help immediately. Do not wait until an incident happens and you are being investigated by your employer/agency, local law enforcement, and/or the board of nursing.

Contact a nurse attorney in your state or territory who practices before the board of nursing and discuss your options. You do have options and you want to make an informed decision on your next course of action.
