Is there any way to start a non profit / charity type legal organization to help nurses deal with a board of nursing? I would start one if I could but if several of them started one I would go for that. Independent one

My question is... even if you drink on a semi regular basis just to have a good time or you take a pain pill for relief or smoke a joint. Does that really classify you as an addict? i do not know the psychological aspect of nursing in substance abuse but obliviously a board does or doctor. but to classify a person that is actually not addicted is a tough place to be in. what about nurses who get caught like in a dui. But does “one” drink actually make them addicted beyond repair and constitute ten years inpatient? I would assume I would have to go further in nursing like advanced nursing to learn some of these answers. however I checked the Texas board nursing recently and they are revoking for one unit of miscalculated insulin and aspirin. Is that really necessary also?
