Williams, Elizabeth, RN

Consent agreement

Nov 25, 2019

On November 25, 2019 a panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a Consent Agreement between BCCNP and Elizabeth Williams of Burns Lake, to remediate issues related to her nursing practise. These practise issues included incidents when the Registrant:

Administered the wrong set of vaccinations to a child and failed to document the error accurately or appropriately;
Administered an immunization to a child without parental consent;
Did not document clinical interactions with patients in a timely manner, or at all;
Did not confirm patient identity by using two patient identifiers;
Did not document a child’s set of immunizations which resulted in the child undergoing repeat vaccination;
Did not maintain professional boundaries in the nurse-client relationship; and
Did not maintain professional communication standards with colleagues and community stakeholders.

The Registrant has voluntarily agreed to a one week suspension, a reprimand, a limit and condition on practice, including not being the sole RN and a period of rigorous supervised practice consisting of regular shift check-ins and unscheduled practice and charting audits. The Registrant has also agreed to other terms including education, regulatory practice consultations, and disclosure terms. The Inquiry Committee is satisfied that the terms will protect the public
