Nurses in Recovery: Specialized Support and What to Expect
Why Specialized Support Matters
Nurses in recovery face unique challenges. The compassion that draws you to care for others can make it difficult to ask for help. Professional standards may heighten feelings of guilt or fear of judgment.
At Sycamore Counseling, we combine clinical expertise with empathy, acknowledging nursing culture, stress, and trauma while fostering accountability and growth. Recovery isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress and learning to care for yourself with the same dedication you give to others.
What to Expect
When you begin the Nurses in Recovery Program, you’ll start with an initial consultation or evaluation to clarify your goals and requirements. From there:
Regular individual sessions focused on therapeutic growth and compliance milestones
Handling of documentation, progress reports, and communication with the Board or KPRN
Guidance tailored to your pace—some complete the program in months, others space sessions out for reflection
Each step is designed to help you move forward with confidence and integrity.
Your Work Still Matters
Recovery does not erase the years you’ve spent serving others—it allows you to serve from a healthier, more grounded place. Rediscover the purpose and compassion that first drew them to nursing.
