On March 23, 2026, a panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a consent agreement between BCCNM and Dennis Natembeya of Surrey, B.C., to address concerns relating to medication administration, documentation, and professional responsibility and accountability in April and May 2024.
The conduct was unsatisfactory, with respect to the following professional and practice standards that BCCNM set:
- Scope of Practice for RNs,
- Duty to Provide Care,
- Documentation,
- Medication,
- Ethical Practice,
- Knowledge-based Practice,
- Client-focused Provision of Service, and
- Professional Responsibility and Accountability.
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 a two-day suspension of registration and public reprimand for breaching the above standards, and remedial education in targeted areas.
The Inquiry Committee is satisfied that the terms will address the issues and protect the public.
