The most important question to ask should include the training needs of performance of the skill, psychomotor training, and the knowledge necessary to make competent decisions. The safety of the clients should be the top concern of the nurse in this situation.

All of the boards of nursing disciplinary treatment programs offer rehabilitation and the nurse signs an agreement to voluntarily accept the help and to abide by the requirements set forth by the state board of nursing. If the nurse successfully completes a treatment program, there is no loss of license, so the coworker needs to clarify the statement about losing licensure and going back to nursing school. Most programs initially prohibit working for a period of time, and if the nurse complies with the treatment program, in most states, there is no record. The coworker in this scenario best serves the safety of the clients by removing the nurse from caring for the clients while impaired.
