Addiction in Nursing: Moral Failure to Chronic Disease - a podcast by Leanne Meier, BSN, RN

This episode addresses a problem in our society with addiction to drugs and alcohol and the reflection of that disease in healthcare personnel, including nurses. Although we have long recognized addiction to be a disease in society, it carries a huge negative stigma for nurses and other healthcare providers. Marie Manthey is a pioneer in relationship-based nursing care and has utilized this concept to support nurses in the clutches of their disease. Marie and Beckie Lillihei, RN are among many in Minneapolis, actively reaching out to nurses in addiction to support, teach and return them to their own humanity and self-confidence, so they can continue to contribute to their community in profound ways.
