On August 20, 2019, a panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a Consent Agreement under which the Registrant, following an incident in which she was impaired on alcohol in the workplace, agreed to undertakings involving regular monitoring for fitness to practice and a limitation on practice.
Specifically, following the incident, the Registrant admitted to suffering from a substance use disorder, attended residential treatment, and has been engaging in counselling and biological monitoring since the event. An independent medical assessment has identified the Registrant as fit to resume nursing under terms including: a limit on working nightshift for 12 months and substance use treatment and monitoring for three years. Her disability and the terms of the consent agreement will be disclosed to current and future employers for the duration of the agreement.
The name of the Registrant has been withheld in accordance with section 39.3 (4) (a) of the Health Professions Act for the purposes of not identifying the personal health information of the Registrant respecting the condition.
The Inquiry Committee is satisfied that the undertakings will protect the public.
