Gossen, Virginia, RN

Consent agreement

Aug 27, 2019

On August 27, 2019 a panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a Consent Agreement between BCCNP and Virginia Gossen of Parksville, to remediate practice issues related to her failure to assess two unstable clients and ensure they received appropriate care during her nightshifts and for failure to document. 

The Registrant has voluntarily agreed to a reprimand, educational coursework, a period of oversight of her practice and terms equivalent to a limit on practice, including a limitation on scope of practice.

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