Mission Statement
One out of seven nurses will experience a problem with drugs or alcohol over the course of his/her career.
Appropriate, effective treatment can save a license, a career, and most importantly, a life.
The mission of Peer Advocacy for Impaired Nurses, LLC is to educate the profession
and the public about impairment and to promote early identification, intervention,
treatment and rehabilitation of nurses whose practice may be impaired due to chemical
dependency or other illnesses. Our goal is to provide information, referral to resources,
consultation regarding job-
We also intend to promote public safety through participation of potentially impaired health care professionals, clinicians, faculty, and students, in monitored rehabilitation and recovery as an alternative to license discipline, emphasizing fitness to practice and retention of competent professionals.
Peer Advocacy for Impaired Nurses, LLC is committed to working in cooperation with regulatory and professional organizations toward this objective.
The Logo for Peer Advocacy for Impaired Nurses, LLC is a lighthouse on a churning ocean, with the Caduceus.
- The Lighthouse represents the light of knowledge gained through the experience of surviving the disease of addiction as well as knowledge gained through research.
- The Churning Ocean represents the turmoil, strife, and chaos the disease brings to the addict and all those who are touched by the addict and this horrible disease.
- The Caduceus represents the health care professions and professionals who are not protected from this disease by virtue of their education and training.
