A nurse in Arvidsjaur, Sweden, was found to have a blood alcohol content of 1.84 promille while on duty but will not be terminated. Despite the incident, the employer, the municipality’s social chief Peter Öhman, has decided to retain the nurse, citing a responsibility to provide rehabilitation. This decision follows a previous dismissal from a former employer after the nurse was found to have stolen and used controlled narcotics at work. The current employer believes in supporting the nurse’s recovery rather than immediate termination. No further details regarding the circumstances of the alcohol consumption were released. The case highlights a focus on rehabilitation within the healthcare system, even in situations involving serious misconduct. The nurse has received a formal warning as part of the continued employment agreement.
