I cannot tell you how much you've made my day, Biosphere. I had a feeling that Banner might be a little on the difficult side, but that is wonderful to know that both Abrazo and John C Lincoln (or I guess they're part of HonorHealth now) are accepting of nurses in CANDO. So after they reach out to you regarding a job offer, that would be the best time to disclose that you are in CANDO? Would it be okay if I messaged you to maybe get some more ideas about what exactly to say? I figured when the time comes I could talk about how being in the program has helped me and that it has made me not just a better person but a better nurse as well. Do you usually disclose this information to the HR person who calls to tell you about the job offer, or should you contact the manager directly about it? I've had two jobs- the first one they had the HR person contact me and offer the job, the second one I was offered on the spot after a peer interview... Not sure how other places do things. Thanks again for all of your help!

Thank you so much for responding, Biosphere. I was curious if certain hospitals are more open to hiring a nurse who is currently in the CANDO program, or if there are departments in hospitals that have a tendency to hire CANDO nurses. I'm also very nervous to interview because I am not sure when during the interview and how to mention that I am in the CANDO program. Any suggestions?

Hi everyone, I recently joined the CANDO program in AZ for alcoholism and am just about to start applying for jobs. Does anyone have any insight about which places (ie Banner, HonorHealth, Mayo, Abrazo) are fairly open to hiring nurses who are in the CANDO program?
