Barrett, Kimberly, RN

Consent agreement

Mar 12, 2024

On March 12, 2024, a panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a consent agreement between BCCNM and Kimberly Barrett, RN of Delta, B.C., to address practice issues that occurred from November 2021 to March 2023 related to poor practice in the areas of medication administration, documentation, communication with the interprofessional team, adhering to institution policies, and support and supervision of health care assistants. Further, there was one incident where the registrant attempted to divert medication from a clinic where she was a learner in a practicum setting.

The registrant has voluntarily agreed to terms equivalent to a limit and/or condition on their practice, including:

  1. A suspension of their nursing registration for three weeks for the attempted diversion of medication during their nurse practitioner practicum;

  2. A limit prohibiting them from being the sole RN on duty and supervising nursing students and new learners;

  3. Remedial education in medication administration, documentation, professional responsibility and ethics, and communication;

  4. Direct followed by indirect supervision of their nursing practice;

  5. Developing a learning plan which will be shared with their employer.

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