 It's great that you're actively working on your program.

To help put you at ease, the dialysis interviewing manager has likely interviewed nurses in rehab for narcotic use before.

For the interview, emphasize your extensive experience and commitment to professional growth.

Be honest but concise about your restrictions. Briefly highlight how you've been proactive in addressing the issue and ensuring it won't affect your job performance.

Delve into the skills and strengths you bring to the role and assure them of your dedication to maintaining a safe and effective practice.

To sum it up, be matter-of-fact about your restrictions. Spend the majority of time talking about your experience and skills.

Best wishes,

Nurse Beth
