On July 17, 2025, a panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a consent agreement between BCCNM and Victoria Heath of Kamloops to address practice issues that occurred between March 24 and Dec. 8, 2023, related to medication errors, resident assessment, documentation, and wound care.
The BCCNM LPN Practice Standards sets out requirements for specific aspects of LPN practice whereas the LPN Professional Standards reflect the values of the nursing profession, clarify what the profession expects of licensed practical nurses, and represent the criteria that BCCNM uses to measure LPN practice in British Columbia. When the care provided by a nurse falls below a specified practice or professional standard, regulatory intervention takes place to protect the public.
The registrant has voluntarily agreed to the following terms equivalent to a limit and/or condition on their practice:
a. Not working unsupervised for three months, and
b. Audits on their practice for three months.
The Inquiry Committee is satisfied that the terms will address the professional and practice concerns that arose and will protect the public.
