On October 23, 2019 a panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a Consent Agreement between BCCNP and Lisa Noel of Mission, B.C., in relation to her failure to comply with the terms of a previous consent agreement.
Specifically, the Registrant failed to share a copy of her consent agreement dated December 22, 2016 with nurse employers as required by the terms of that consent agreement. The Registrant has voluntarily agreed to a reprimand and a suspension of practicing registration for a period of one week in relation to this conduct. The suspension and reprimand were requested because the Inquiry Committee relies on registrants to adhere to all terms of their consent agreement, including disclosure to third parties as required. A failure to do this on the part of the Registrant undermines the foundation of the agreement and is a serious omission, especially as it relates to RN employers who have an important role to play in ensuring that a nurse's practice is safe. If an employer is unaware of a consent agreement, they are unable to take any, additional appropriate actions, as mandated by the consent agreement or otherwise.
The Inquiry Committee is satisfied that the terms will protect the public.
