How do I as an employer know if a nurse applicant is in the Diversion Program?

Nurses in the Diversion Program are required to inform their employers and prospective employers that they are participants in the DP. Upon request from the employer, they should be able to provide a copy of their initial contract with the DP, as well as any subsequent contract amendments. These documents will provide information about current practice stipulations and contract requirements. Contract amendments are completed with each nurse in the DP at their mandatory face-to-face evaluations, which are conducted a minimum of every three months while the nurse is in the DP. These contract amendments provide a status report on the nurses' participation and ongoing compliance with the DP.
