On May 28, 2024, a panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a consent agreement between BCCNM and the registrant to address the diversion of narcotics from their place of work for personal use while off-duty, and practising when they were experiencing a health condition that impaired their ability to safely and competency practice nursing.
The registrant was diagnosed with and admitted to a disability with a causal relationship to the practice issues via an independent medical report and they have agreed to comply with the treatment recommendations.
The registrant has voluntarily agreed to terms equivalent to a limit and/or condition on their practice, including:
- A limit impacting access to and handling of narcotics, with concurrent medical monitoring, to support the stable return to fitness to practice;
- A limit on working overnight shifts and working overtime;
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 a registrant or their personal health information respecting the condition that impaired their ability to practice nursing or midwifery.
The Inquiry Committee is satisfied that the terms will protect the public.
