On May 16, 2021, a panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a Consent Agreement between BCCNM and the Registrant wherein the Registrant agreed to conditions and/or limits on their nursing practice to ensure their fitness upon returning to practice. The terms of the Consent Agreement include but are not limited to:
Regular reports from a medical monitoring agency regarding compliance.
Disclosure of treatment recommendations to relevant employer representatives.
Limits on practice designed to prevent the circumstances leading to the practice concern from reoccurring. The limits include supervision of their nursing practice for 12 months, not being the nurse in charge not being the sole nurse on shift and not working overtime for a term.
The Agreement will remain in place for a minimum of three years of continuous nursing practice.
The reasons for the Inquiry Committee decision are as follows:
The Registrant provided an independent medical assessment documenting health concerns to BCCNM which could impact the ability to provide safe patient care.
The independent medical assessment identified the Registrant is fit to practice nursing.
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 terms will protect the public.
