    Her right leg and foot are very swollen She also has a right wrist fracture which is immobilized by a splint and multiple superficial lacerations and abrasions.

  • Substance Use Disorder in Nursing | NCSBN

    Nurses who abuse substances pose a unique challenge to the nursing profession. Early recognition, reporting and intervention are fundamental for keeping patients safe from harm and helping colleagues recover. When treatment for nurses is individually tailored to meet their needs and an appropriate supportive monitoring system is in place, nurses can recover and return to practice safely. An extensive body of scientific evidence demonstrates that approaching substance use disorders as treatable illness is extremely effective for the individual using substances, as well as for society.

    This suggests that educators are adequately preparing their students for practice and particularly that the national initiative to integrate QSEN competencies into un- dergraduate programs seems to be work- ing. Another pattern identifi ed was that the new graduates had a spike in reported errors, a decrease in job satisfaction, and an increase in work stress at the 6-month period, which is typically when the new graduates became more independent. By the 12th month in practice, work stress and reported errors decreased and job sat- isfaction increased. This fi nding supports the need for ongoing support of the new graduate during the entire fi rst year of practice.

    When nurses think their supervisor knows how to detect an SUD and is willing to do something about it, SUD on the job decreases. The nurse manager’s role in the process of removing the nurse from patient care is essential. Removal from practice will assist the nurse in focusing on care and treatment of the disorder, but more importantly, the earlier SUD is identified and the nurse is removed from patient care, the sooner patients are protected.
