On May 26, 2021 a panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a Consent Agreement between BCCNM and Abeda Niru of Vancouver, to address an unauthorized absence from their worksite for 2 hours and 58 minutes without ensuring appropriate handover of the residents under their care in June 2020.
The Registrant has voluntarily agreed to terms equivalent to a limit and/or condition on their practice, including:
| a. | A suspension of their nursing registration for 2 weeks;
|
| b. | A limit prohibiting them from being the sole regulated nursing professional on duty for a period of 2 months; |
| c. | Remedial education in ethical nursing practice; |
| d. | Developing a learning plan which will be shared with their employer and with BCCNM; and |
| e. | A regulatory practice consulting program to address the foundational issues underpinning this Agreement. |
The Inquiry Committee is satisfied that the terms will protect the public.
