On May 3, 2018, a panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a Consent Agreement between CRNBC and Nicole Eves of Surrey, B.C., to remediate practice issues from November 2016 to July 2017 related to: reporting that a patient was using a pump (when they were not) based on confirmation that a pump was in the room; improperly providing a narcotic medication to a patient’s family member to administer; improperly assessing the appropriate dose of a medication. The Registrant has voluntarily agreed to terms equivalent to a condition on practice, including:
1. | A reprimand resulting from her conduct involving two separate serious incidents pertaining to unsafe medication practices when she failed to adhere to the Employers’ policy and CRNBC’s Medication Administration Standard. |
2. | A limit and condition on practice agreeing to refrain from working in a specialty or designated high acuity unit until successful completion of supervised practice in a designated non-acute and non-specialty area for at least a 9 month period. |
3. | Successful completion of coursework related to safe medication practices, documentation and professional communication. |
4. | Undergoing a Regulatory Practice Consultation and completion of a Learning Plan. |
5. | An undertaking to not repeat the conduct related to lacking relevant knowledge about her patient including the documentation and reporting to colleagues of false and or inaccurate information about her patients that colleagues would rely on for decision-making. |
The Inquiry Committee is satisfied that the terms will protect the public.
