The College of Nurses of Ontario brought discipline proceedings against a Registered Nurse for failing to provide adequate care, failing to document care, and failing to wear required Personal Protective Equipment in the Emergency Department.
The Member did not attend the hearing.
The Discipline Committee found that the Member committed professional misconduct by breaching multiple standards of practice, failing to keep records, and engaging in dishonourable and unprofessional conduct.
The Committee ordered an oral reprimand, a 10-month suspension of the Member's certificate of registration, and imposed extensive terms, conditions, and limitations on his practice.
