On Jan. 15, 2025, a panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a consent agreement between BCCNM and Cynthia Fung of Burnaby, B.C. to address practice issues that occurred on Dec. 29, 2022, related to documenting assessments that had not been performed in two clients' charts with a notation of a date and time in the future.
The registrant has voluntarily agreed to terms equivalent to a limit and/or condition on their practice, including:
a. A suspension of their nursing registration for two days;
b. A public reprimand;
c. Remedial education in documentation and ethics;
d. A regulatory practice consulting program to address the foundational issues and nursing standards underpinning this Agreement; and
e. An agreement to self-regulate with regard to workload.
The Inquiry Committee is satisfied that the terms will protect the public.
