Arkansas Nurses Alternative Program (ArNAP)
The Arkansas Nurses Alternative to Discipline Program (ArNAP) is an abstinence-based, non-disciplinary monitoring program, which was legislatively created in 2017(See Ark. Code Ann. 17-87-801 et seq.) to help licensed nurses and applicants for licensure, who have a drug or alcohol abuse problem, or addiction. Even though the program is voluntary, you are expected to comply with all aspects of your agreement and contract. Failure to comply with your specific requirements will result in a referral to the Arkansas State Board of Nursing (ASBN or Board). Most disciplinary actions taken by the Board are permanently reflected on your license and may affect your future abilities to obtain employment.
