Description
We will share the essentials of what every nurse needs to know regarding the TPAPN program as it relates to:
Our mission and vision
Organizational structure
Prevalence of substance use and mental health conditions in our field based on the current data
Our professional and ethical obligations in relation to nurses experiencing a substance use and/or mental health condition
Stigma as a barrier to help seeking behaviors in the nursing population, including referral to TPAPN
Differentiate when it is appropriate to make a referral to TPAPN versus a report to the Texas Board of Nursing and we will provide the resources necessary to making a referral or report
