On August 5, 2020, a panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a· consent Agreement between BCCNP and Rose Vasta of Victoria, to address conduct occurring between 2010 and 2019. Specifically, while self-employed in a private counselling practice in which she provided blended mental health and nursing services, Ms. Vasta entered into a sexual relationship with a patient; for several of these years Ms. Vasta continued to treat the patient.
Ms. Vasta has voluntarily agreed to cancellation of her registration with BCCNP, and is no longer entitled to practise as an RN in BC. She has also agreed not to apply for reinstatement of registration for at least two years. Should she apply for reinstatement, she will be required to meet the character, competence and fitness requirements of registration.
The Inquiry Committee is satisfied that the terms will protect the public
