Nurses' Licenses Suspended Over Client Harm Risk
21 Jan
Summary
- Three nurses' registrations suspended for 90 days.
- Allegations include inability to respond in emergencies.
- Nurses failed mandatory education and showed poor improvement.
Three registered nurses working at Wedgewood Manor in Summerside, P.E.I., have had their licenses suspended for 90 days. This action was taken by the College of Registered Nurses and Midwives of P.E.I. (CRNMPEI) due to concerns of a serious and imminent risk to clients. The interim order, issued on December 23, 2025, followed a complaint received by the college on December 5, 2025.
Concerns cited in the order include the nurses' alleged inability to respond effectively during emergencies, a failure to recognize or intervene in client deterioration, and a lack of clinical reasoning and judgment. The nurses also reportedly failed to attend mandatory education and did not show adequate improvement following implemented learning plans. These issues led the CRNMPEI council to deem them unsafe to practice.
The nurses, Neha Neha, Shaibu Rajendran, and Dhanya Dhanapalan, have not yet appealed the suspension to the Supreme Court of P.E.I. They have 30 days from receiving the order to appeal. Health P.E.I. stated it would cooperate with the ongoing investigation by the CRNMPEI, while the P.E.I. Nurses' Union acknowledged awareness of the complaint and noted concurrent Health P.E.I. investigations are common.
