On July 2, 2025, a panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a consent agreement between BCCNM and a registered nurse to address the registrant's conduct of attending work on Sept. 20, 2024, while unfit to practice.
Pursuant to BCCNM Responsibility and Accountability Professional Standards nurses are required to maintain their own physical, psychological, and emotional fitness to practice. When a nurse becomes unfit to practice, they are expected to remove themselves from practice.
The registrant has voluntarily agreed to terms equivalent to a limit and/or condition on their practice, including:
- Providing BCCNM with a medical note indicating fitness to practice prior to returning to practice, and
- For a period of three months after returning to practice, not work alone, and not work night shifts.
The Inquiry Committee is satisfied that the terms will address the professional and practice concerns that arose and will protect the public.
