Anderson, Nathan, LPN

Consent agreement

Jul 3, 2023

​​On July 3, 2023, a panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a Consent Agreement between BCCNM and Nathan Anderson of Victoria to address practice issues that occurred between November 2020 and April 2021 when he was working in a long-term care facility related to not assisting a nurse with the care of his resident, inaccurate and incomplete documentation, incomplete assessment, misplacing medications, removing the wrong medication from the narcotic cupboard resulting in a narcotic discrepancy, failing to provide clear and adequate information to a physician regarding a resident's behaviour, and failing to attend information sessions in full regarding resident care.

The Registrant has voluntarily agreed to terms equivalent to a limit and/or condition on their practic​e, including:

  1. A suspension of their nursing registration for one week;

  2. A limit for seven months prohibiting them from being the sole health-care practitioner on duty, and prohibiting them from providing any supervision to students or orientating new staff, and requiring them to only work day and evening shifts and only work in residential care;

  3. Remedial education in professionalism, communication, documentation, medication administration, and assessments;

  4. Supervision of their nursing practice; and

  5. Development of a learning plan, which will be shared with their employer and with BCCNM.

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