On June 23, 2024, a panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a consent agreement between BCCNM and Keely Sherick of Campbell River to address practice issues that occurred from February to August 2023 while working in long-term care related to her failure to adhere to professional and practice standards that included: unsafe medication administration, failure to document appropriately on narcotic and controlled medication records, failure to follow facility policies and procedures related to receiving and transcribing orders, pronouncing death without an order contrary to institution policy, failure to report a known medication error, and not collaborating effectively with members of the care team.
The registrant has voluntarily agreed to terms equivalent to a limit and/or condition on their practice, including:
Direct and indirect supervision of their nursing practice for three months;
A limit that upon returning to work at any place of employment that they undergo a thorough orientation;
A limit prohibiting them from being the sole nurse on duty and providing supervision or orientation to staff; and

The
Inquiry Committee is
satisfied that
the terms will protect the public.
