File 2014-0228
Following receipt of a written complaint in August 2014, the Registrant acknowledged incorrectly connecting medical equipment to a patient and administering the wrong medication to a patient despite the medication label clearly indicating a different patient’s name, date and time. The complaint also outlined historic concerns regarding decision-making and prioritization skills. The Registrant cooperated with the investigation, and voluntarily submitted medical information indicating that Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Depression had negatively impacted her practise.
On September 29, 2015, a panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a Consent Agreement under which the Registrant agreed to terms requiring: a limit of practising precluding work with critical care and trauma patients, health treatment and monitoring, disclosure of treatment recommendations to relevant third parties, including the employer. The Agreement will remain in place for a minimum of two years of continuous nursing practice.
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 the personal health information of the Registrant respecting the condition. The Inquiry Committee is satisfied that the undertakings will protect the public.
