Substance Abuse Among Nurses

This evidence-based practice study explored substance abuse in the nursing profession. Nurses have a unique vulnerability to developing substance abuse disorders due to increased levels of work-related stress and frequent access to narcotics. The question that guided this evidence-based study was, what are alternate options to immediate termination that will facilitate rehabilitation for nurses experiencing substance abuse disorders in the United States? The expected outcome examined in this study was that alternative-to-discipline programs encourage disclosure, rehabilitation, and re-entry into the workforce for registered nurses with substance abuse disorders.
