On June 5, 2014 the College of Registered Nurses of British Columbia received a complaint about Registrant Marilynne Hofman of Vancouver, British Columbia, alleging practice concerns in April and May 2014 in the areas of critical thinking, organization, prioritization, pharmacology, medication management and general nursing knowledge. She subsequently underwent a competency assessment (CAEN) that resulted in recommendations, including completion of an online medical/surgical review course.
On March 4, 2016 the Inquiry Committee approved a Consent Agreement between CRNBC and the Registrant to remediate the issues with her practice. She voluntarily agreed to terms including:
-
A condition requiring conversion to non-practising status until she completes (i) a medical/surgical review course and (ii) a consolidated clinical course, return to registered nursing practice certificate, or equivalent.
-
Following a return to nursing practise, a limit prohibiting working night shift and being the sole RN on duty for a period of three months of full time work.
-
Disclosure of the Agreement to prospective employers and relevant educational institutions and instructors for a period of two years of nursing practise in British Columbia following conclusion of the limit on registration.
The Inquiry Committee is satisfied that the terms will protect the public.
