Participants Entering the Diversion Program

Upon entering the Diversion Program/Alternative to Discipline, nurses are required to complete a History and Assessment form and a Diversion Program Response Checklist before scheduling their intake interview. This process ensures smooth entry into the program.

History and Assessment Form

 Nurses are asked to provide a brief history of the events leading to their Diversion Program referral, including any family history of substance use disorder and other relevant factors contributing to relapse. This helps tailor support to their specific needs.              

Diversion Program Response Checklist

Nurses complete a Diversion Program Response Checklist, admitting to a substance use disorder and expressing their willingness to enter voluntary practice monitoring. This allows them to personally explain their reasons for joining the alternative to discipline program.
