Schuster, Rowena, LPN

Consent agreement

Oct 31, 2019

On October 31, 2019, a panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a Consent Agreement between BCCNP and Rowena Schuster of Vancouver, to remediate practice issues related to errors in medication administration, failure to document, poor clinical decision making, and professional responsibility.

The Registrant has voluntarily agreed to terms equivalent to a condition on practice, including: a four week suspension, a reprimand, limiting her practice to one work unit, meeting with a BCCNP Practice Support Consultant to complete a self-assessment identifying the circumstances leading to the current issues and preventing their recurrence, engaging in mentored orientation of 3 months upon returning to practice, disclosing the Consent Agreement to the employer for oversight purposes, and providing monthly reports to BCCNP.

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

We acknowledge the rights and title of the First Nations on whose collective unceded territories encompass the land base colonially known as British Columbia. 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.​
