On August 9, 2019 a panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a Consent Agreement between BCCNP and Tracey Anne Vasey of Fernie, to remediate practice issues related to the failure to meet BCCNP standards from 2016 to 2018 related to documentation and medication administration, the failure to demonstrate adequate infection control practices including wearing personal protective equipment and regular hand washing, the failure to engage in respectful workplace communication, and the failure to meet standards for privacy, confidentiality and nurse-patient boundaries.
The Registrant has voluntarily agreed to a 30-day suspension and reprimand, and upon her return to work, for 12 weeks, the Registrant may only work in a supervised setting and the supervisor must be on site at all times. The Registrant must be provided a robust orientation and must create and participate in an ongoing learning plan that incorporates and addresses the practice weaknesses identified in this investigation. Educational courses were also required, a regulatory practice consultation, and disclosure to the employer.
The Inquiry Committee is satisfied that the terms will protect the public.
