Section 1300.110  Mandatory Reporting of Impaired Licensees
a)
Any
nurse who is an administrator or officer in any hospital, nursing home, other
health care agency or facility, or nurse agency and has knowledge of any action
or condition which reasonably indicates that a
licensee under the Act:
1)
is
impaired due to the use of alcohol or mood altering drugs to the extent that
the impairment adversely affects the
licensee's
professional performance;
or
2)
unlawfully
possesses, uses, distributes or converts mood altering drugs
(Section 70-10(a)
of the Act) shall report the individual to the Division or designee of the
Division unless the licensee participates in a course of remedial professional
counseling or medical treatment for substance abuse.
b)         The
administrator need not report the licensee in question so long as the nurse
actively pursues treatment under monitoring by the administrator or officer or
by the hospital, nursing home, health care agency or facility, or nurse agency
and the licensee continues to be employed by that hospital, nursing home,
health care agency or facility, or nurse agency.
c)         However,
if the licensee fails to comply with treatment or leaves employment of the
institution for any reason, the administrator shall report the licensee to the
Division.
d)         Notwithstanding
any other Section or provisions of the Nurse Practice Act, if the Division
verifies habitual intoxication or drug addiction that adversely affects
professional performance or the unlawful possession, use, distribution or
conversion of habit forming drugs by the reported licensee, the Division may
seek to discipline the licensee pursuant to Section 70-5 of the Act.
