The College of Nurses of Ontario brought disciplinary proceedings against a registered nurse for professional misconduct.
The nurse admitted to failing to promptly assess a client complaining of chest pains, making inappropriate comments to the client, and making disparaging remarks about colleagues.
The Discipline Committee accepted an agreed statement of facts and found the nurse guilty of professional misconduct.
Accepting a joint submission on penalty, the Committee ordered a four-month suspension, a reprimand, and various remedial conditions on the nurse's certificate of registration.
