The Member, a registered nurse, faced allegations of professional misconduct for failing to appropriately monitor and assess two patients, failing to maintain appropriate documentation, and falsifying a record regarding a patient's urine output.
Both patients died shortly after the Member's shifts, though the Member's actions were not alleged to have directly caused the deaths.
The Member admitted to the allegations via an Agreed Statement of Facts.
The Discipline Committee found the Member committed professional misconduct and engaged in unprofessional and dishonourable conduct.
Accepting a Joint Submission on Order, the Committee ordered an oral reprimand, a three-month suspension, and imposed terms, conditions, and limitations on the Member's certificate of registration, including meetings with a regulatory expert and employer notification.
