Yes, Florida health care professionals can seek assistance for impairment through the Intervention Project for Nurses (IPN) or the Impaired Practitioner Program of Florida (PRN). Impairment may be as a result of misuse or abuse of alcohol or drugs, or both, or due to a mental or physical condition which could affect the licensee’s ability to practice with skill and safety.
