Current through Supplement No. 393, July, 2024
The board recognizes that problems resulting from the
				  diseases of chemical dependency or psychiatric or physical disorders, as well
				  as practice deficiencies, may impair a nurse's ability to safely practice
				  nursing. Nurses who develop such diseases, deficiencies, or disorders may be
				  able to, with appropriate treatment and remediation, return to the practice of
				  nursing. It is the intent of the board that nurses who are chemically
				  dependent, have practice deficiencies, or suffer from psychiatric or physical
				  disorders may be offered an opportunity to seek evaluation, remediation, and
				  treatment and return to or continue the practice of nursing in a manner which
				  benefits the public health, safety, and welfare, as well as aids in the nurse's
				  recovery from such diseases, deficiencies, and disorders. The board supports a
				  nurse monitoring program for nurses who would otherwise be charged with
				  violating the Nurse Practices Act due to chemical dependency, practice
				  deficiencies, or psychiatric or physical disorders. The board will cooperate
				  with employers of nurses duly admitted to the program in order to facilitate
				  the nurse's ability to practice safely while participating in the program.
