The Nursing Care Quality Assurance Commission recently adopted a Position Statement on substance use disorder and the nursing profession. The statement provides background and a framework for how the commission approaches nurses who may be impaired due to a substance use disorder. Including clarification of its voluntary participation track.
The Position Statement is presented in a user-friendly format suitable for use as a flier, hand-out, or poster. Employers and associations may request educational presentations by contacting Washington Health Professional Services (WHPS) at 360-236-2880 or whps@doh.wa.gov.
