The appellant appealed a decision of the Health Professions Appeal and Review Board upholding the College of Nurses' refusal to annul her first unsuccessful attempt at the Canadian Registered Nurse Examination.
The appellant argued that her mental and emotional state, caused by her mother's death and medication side effects, prevented her from fully appreciating her inability to write the exam.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, finding the Board's conclusion that the appellant could and should have assessed her circumstances before the examination was reasonable.
