The College of Nurses of Ontario brought disciplinary proceedings against the Member for practising as a registered practical nurse while her certificate of registration was suspended for non-payment of fees.
Over a 12-year period, the Member held herself out as a nurse, submitted fraudulent Annual Payment Cards to her employer, and performed unauthorized controlled acts on vulnerable clients.
The Discipline Committee found the Member committed professional misconduct and engaged in disgraceful, dishonourable, and unprofessional conduct.
The Member's certificate of registration was suspended for a minimum of five months, subject to specific remediation conditions.
