On Nov. 13, 2025, a panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a consent agreement between BCCNM and Melissa Sharp of Parson, B.C. to address practice issues that occurred from March to July 2023. Specifically, performing medical aesthetic procedures for private clients while on duty for another employer, and without client-specific orders or having a physician immediately available on site.
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. Nurses practising medical aesthetics should also consider the Injecting Botox, Dermal Fillers, and Venous Sclerotherapy practice standard, set by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC.
The registrant has voluntarily agreed to the following terms:
- Limit/condition on her practice as a nurse educator in the subjects of medication administration, medical aesthetics, ethics and professionalism, until she successfully completes the remedial education terms.
- Public reprimand for breaching standards.
- Remedial education in medication.
The Inquiry Committee is satisfied that the terms will address the issues and protect the public.
