Summarized Discipline Decisions

The following decisions and reasons of the Discipline Committee form part of the College’s annual report and are published as a requirement of the Regulated Health Professions Act. By publishing these decisions, CNO educates nurses and informs the public about what does and does not constitute professional misconduct and incompetence. These decisions also provide direction to RNs and RPNs on practice standards and professional behaviour if they find themselves in similar situations.

The name of the member who is the subject of the hearing may or may not be included depending on the decision of the Panel of the Discipline Committee. Information revealing the names of witnesses and clients has been removed. Following a decision by Council, the institutions/agencies where the incidents occurred are identified. If this unduly increases the likelihood of identifying clients, the facility will not be named.

For copies of full decisions, visit CNO’s website at www.cno.org, Investigations and Hearings section, or contact Deborah Jones, Managing Editor, at 416 928-0900 or 1 800 387-5526, ext. 6308.
