After a wild weather day here in Cincinnati (thunderstorms, winds up to 60 MPH) I'm driving 5 hours to Glenbeigh Hospital to give a presentation on the treatment guidelines for impaired nurses and nurse anesthesia providers.
Glenbeigh has an excellent treatment facility and a top-notch treatment team with an excellent program for impaired health care professionals. With the board of nursing steering fewer and fewer nurses into treatment, focusing mainly on discipline, it's imperative for intervention as early as possible. This protects the patients while providing the intense treatment required to arrest the progress of this deadly disease.
How can nursing ever hope to provide compassionate care to the chemically dependent in society when they can't provide that care to their own colleagues?
