On July 8, 2025, a panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a consent agreement between BCCNM and Amritpal Randhawa of Kamloops, B.C. to address practice issues that occurred from December 2022 to April 2023. The issues were related to the registrant administering or withholding medications without clinical justification, falsifying medication administration records, delegating tasks to unregulated care providers, and failing to report medication incidents and update patient care plans accurately or at all.
BCCNM professional and practice standards set expectations to ensure nurses are practising competently, ethically, responsibly, and safely. Nurses are accountable for their nursing decisions, actions, and professional conduct. Nurses must ensure that they meet these standards in providing care to patients.
The registrant has voluntarily agreed to terms equivalent to a limit and/or condition on their practice, including:
- Suspension of their registration for five days.
- Public reprimand for failing to adhere to BCCNM professional and practice standards.
- Meeting with a BCCNM Standards and Guidance Consultant to discuss and create a plan to prevent similar conduct from occurring in the future.
The Inquiry Committee is satisfied that the terms will address the professional and practice concerns that arose and will protect the public.
