I’ve been thinking about the 9th step: making amends. A previous manager is close to the top of the list of people I owe an apology to, but I’d like to see what other nurses think.
It was at this job that I started diverting. After being confronted a few times, and denying everything and a negative drug screen (don’t ask. I was absolutely using opiates) I was fired for suspected diversion. I’m thinking about mailing a handwritten letter to her. I really liked her. She was the best manager I’d ever had, and she was really trying to help me. Is there any reason that anybody could think the letter is a bad idea?
