The College of Nurses of Ontario alleged that the Member, a Nurse Practitioner, committed professional misconduct by issuing COVID-19 vaccine medical exemption letters without appropriate assessments or clinical indications, and by charging excessive fees.
The Discipline Committee found that the Member breached multiple standards of practice, including documentation and therapeutic nurse-client relationship standards, by issuing nearly 400 exemption letters based on group Zoom sessions without individual assessments.
The Committee concluded this conduct was disgraceful, dishonourable, and unprofessional.
The allegation of charging an excessive fee was dismissed due to insufficient evidence.
