The Discipline Committee of the College of Nurses of Ontario held a penalty hearing for a member previously found guilty of professional misconduct.
The misconduct included criminal convictions for possession of stolen license plates, breaking and entering, and using a stolen credit card, as well as professional transgressions such as failing to attend client appointments, misappropriating a narcotic, attempting to steal from a client's family member, and billing for unmade visits.
The member did not attend the hearing.
The Committee accepted the College's submission, ordering an oral reprimand and the immediate revocation of the member's certificate of registration, emphasizing specific and general deterrence and the member's ungovernability.
