Court confirms cancellation of public health nurse’s registration

The cancellation of the registration of a public health nurse who was found to have poor record keeping, including filing screening documents for new-borns, has been confirmed by the president of the High Court.

The committee also found the nurse kept records pertaining to one or more clients at her home or in her car when she knew or ought to have known this was not appropriate. The committee recommended the nurse’s registration be cancelled and stated it considered that advice, admonishment or censure were not sufficient to protect the public, in particular children and new borns.

It also found the nurse’s conduct had the potential to cause harm in particular to infants and children.
