On July 29, 2024, a panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a consent agreement between BCCNM and the registrant to address reports that the registrant was diagnosed with a disability that impacted their ability to practice nursing safely. The registrant has been complaint with all treatment recommendations and has been deemed fit to return to work by the treating physician.
The registrant has voluntarily agreed to terms equivalent to a limit and/or condition on their practice, including:
- Medical monitoring for two years including regular reports that they remain compliant with this monitoring;
- Disclosure of treatment recommendations to relevant employer representative(s);
- To not work nights for six months;
- Workplace mentorship for three months to support the registrant in delivering nursing care that is competent and safe.
The agreement will remain in place for a minimum of three years of continuous nursing practice.
The name of the registrant has been withheld in accordance with section 39.3 (4) (a) of the
Health Professions Act for the purposes of not identifying a registrant or their personal health information respecting the condition that impaired their ability to practice nursing or midwifery.
The Inquiry Committee is satisfied that the terms will protect the public.
