Hello, I am not a nurse but I have a question about a friend of mine who is a nurse and is in early recovery. She was diverting medication but never got caught. She quit her job and put herself in a 28 day rehab program. She has been clean and sober for almost 5 months now. She is very active in AA and is trying hard to embrace her recovery. She just got hired for a nursing job without controlled substances access. She decided not to self report to the board of nursing. So no one knows of her addiction outside her husband and of some women in AA. My question is by her deciding not to self report to the board will this put her at greater risk of relapse in the future? I know she is nervous about sharing at meetings because she is still afraid her past will catch up with her. Any thoughts?? Sent from my iPad
