B.C.'s College of Nurses and Midwives also imposed a six-month limit on the nurse being a sole registered nurse on duty.
B.C.’s College of Nurses and Midwives has suspended a Chilliwack nurse for three weeks for problems involving high-alert medication.
On Aug. 9, a college inquiry committee panel approved an agreement with Jennifer Kanoga to address November 2023 practice issues. The college said Kanoga failed "to follow the independent double check and discrepancy resolution processes for a high-alert medication" on two occasions.
The college is currently one of several regulatory bodies empowered under the Health Professions Act to regulate health professions in B.C. It regulates the practice of four distinct professions: nursing, practical nursing, psychiatric nursing and midwifery.
Similar legislation in other self-regulated areas such as the legal and notary public professions also allows citizens to know about discipline issues in the public interest.
