Consent agreement

May 26, 2019

On May 26, 2019, a panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a Consent Agreement between BCCNP and Svetlana Chernenko of Surrey, British Columbia, resulting from competency and conduct concerns occurring in March 2018 and July 2018 that included:

  • The failure to appropriately document medication administration activities.
  • The failure to follow a physician's orders regarding frequency of glucometer readings.
  • The failure to ensure her documentation was accurate.
  • The failure to document on patients during a shift.
  • The failure to provide handover to oncoming staff during a shift.

The Registrant has voluntarily agreed to a two (2) week suspension as well as terms equivalent to a limit and condition on practice, including the development of a Learning Plan to address the concerns founding this Agreement. The Registrant will also complete remedial educational courses and will participate in regulatory practice consults.

The Inquiry Committee is satisfied that the terms will protect the public.

We give specific thanks to the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ speaking peoples the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations and the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh-ulh Sníchim speaking Peoples the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation), on whose unceded territories BCCNM’s office is located. We also give thanks for the medicines of these territories and recognize that laws, governance, and health systems tied to these lands and waters have existed here for over 9000 years.

We also acknowledge the unique and distinct rights, including rights to health and wellness, of First Nations, Inuit​ and Métis peoples from elsewhere in Canada who now live in British Columbia. As leaders in the settler health system, we acknowledge our responsibilities to these rights under international, national, and provincial law.​
