The College of Nurses of Ontario brought disciplinary proceedings against a Registered Practical Nurse who failed to administer medications to 26-29 patients, disposed of the medications, and falsified patient records to conceal his actions.
The Member was subsequently convicted of criminal mischief and failed to report the charges and convictions to the College.
Proceeding by way of an Agreed Statement of Facts and Joint Submission on Order, the Discipline Committee found the Member committed professional misconduct.
The Committee accepted the joint submission, ordering an 8-month suspension, an oral reprimand, and various terms and conditions including employer notification and practice audits.
