Overview

When you are experiencing difficulties because of a substance use or mental health problem, there are several issues that will need attention.

If you have been or will soon be reported to the Oregon State Board of Nursing, then your employment and license could be in jeopardy. In addition, you have legal protections and may be able to extend your health benefits even if you are terminated from your job. Finally, you can preserve your options by obtaining a clinical evaluation with treatment recommendations in a timely way.

The information in this section can help you take care of these tasks and issues in an orderly way. However, NAN does not offer employment assistance or job referrals.
