On Aug. 5, 2024, a panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a consent agreement between BCCNM and James Maroney of Sooke, B.C., to address practice issues that occurred in May 2023 related to refusing care and being disrespectful to a patient who presented to the emergency room with apparently minor respiratory symptoms and for not documenting this encounter appropriately.
The registrant has voluntarily agreed to a reprimand and suspension of their nursing registration for one day. Further, in order to support the registrant's practice in future, they have agreed to undertake relevant remedial education.
The Inquiry Committee is satisfied that the terms will protect the public.
