The Member, a Registered Nurse, faced allegations of professional misconduct for claiming sick leave from a nursing home while continuing to work at a hospital, and for promoting her private sitter agency to patients and staff at the nursing home.

The Member admitted to the allegations.

The Discipline Committee found the Member committed professional misconduct by failing to maintain the standard of practice and practicing in a conflict of interest.

The Committee accepted a joint submission on penalty, ordering a reprimand, a 30-day suspension, and terms requiring the Member to meet with a Practice Consultant to discuss professional ethics.

The Member, a registered nurse, provided home care to a client and developed an inappropriate personal relationship with him, breaching the boundaries of the therapeutic nurse-client relationship.

The Member disclosed personal and financial difficulties, accepted gifts and assistance, wore unprofessional clothing, and eventually moved in with the client after his discharge from home care.

The Discipline Committee found the Member committed professional misconduct.

The Committee accepted a joint submission on penalty, ordering a reprimand, a three-month suspension, and conditions on the Member's certificate of registration.

The Member, a registered nurse, faced allegations of professional misconduct for bathing one patient in cold water and preparing to bathe another in cold water out of anger.

The Committee accepted a joint submission on penalty, ordering a reprimand, a three-month suspension of the Member's certificate of registration, and the completion of remedial courses on patient-focused care and abuse prevention.

The Applicant sought reinstatement of his Certificate of Registration, which was revoked in 1993 after he was found to have sexually abused three patients and subsequently convicted of criminal charges.

The Applicant, who was self-represented, argued he had rehabilitated himself and was no longer a risk.

The College opposed the application, tendering expert psychiatric evidence that the Applicant remained at a low-to-moderate risk of sexually aggressive behaviour and should not have access to patients.

The Discipline Committee dismissed the application, finding the Applicant failed to meet the burden of proving that the public would be protected if he were reinstated.

The Member, a registered nurse, admitted to professional misconduct for falsely claiming to hold a Doctor of Education, Master of Science, and Doctor of Nursing Science over a four-year period.

These false credentials led to promotions within her hospital employer.

The Discipline Committee accepted the Agreed Statement of Facts and found the Member committed professional misconduct.

The panel ordered an oral reprimand, a three-month suspension, and a requirement that the Member notify any employer of the penalty decision for a period of one year upon resuming practice.
