Nurse suspended for three months for failing to monitor patient, failing to initiate CPR, and falsifying records.
The Member, a registered nurse, faced a discipline hearing for failing to appropriately monitor a patient, failing to assess the patient after a change in condition, failing to initiate CPR when the patient was found without vital signs, and falsifying documentation to indicate hourly checks had been performed.
The Member admitted to the allegations via an Agreed Statement of Facts.
The Discipline Committee found the Member committed professional misconduct and accepted a Joint Submission on Order, imposing a reprimand, a three-month suspension, and terms, conditions, and limitations on her certificate of registration.
