On, Nov. 3, 2025, a panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a consent agreement between BCCNM and Rubylyn Dodwell of Victoria, B.C., to address practice concerns from December 2023 to May 2024. Concerns related to delegation of tasks to unregulated staff, medication administration, documentation, and unprofessional communication in the workplace.
The conduct was unsatisfactory, with respect to the following professional and practice standards that BCCNM set:
- Working with Health Care Assistants,
- Duty to Provide Care,
- Documentation,
- Medication,
- Ethical Practice,
- Responsibility and Accountability, and
- Client-focused Provision of Service.
BCCNM 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 meet these standards in providing care to patients.
The registrant has voluntarily agreed to the following terms:
- Suspension of registration for five days.
- Limits/conditions on her practice, while she remediates it.
- Standards and guidance consultations to address practice concerns.
- Remedial education in targeted areas to address knowledge gaps.
The Inquiry Committee is satisfied that the terms will address the concerns and protect the public.
