The Chemically Dependent Nurse

Nurse to Nurse: From Addiction to Recovery
Compiled from candid interviews with nurses in recovery, this program provides a compelling look at the internal struggle of addiction and the challenging road to recovery. Both sobering and inspirational, it is aimed directly at nurses and nursing students, offering an insightful, compassionate look at this problem. Addresses the dire consequences of chemical dependency and staff enabling, as well as the profound life changes possible through confronting addiction in oneself and others. Emphasizes the importance of overcoming the stigma and denial common among caregivers, and the disturbing tendency nurses have while taking care of others to overlook the care of themselves and their colleagues.
