Manitoba Nurse Loses License Over Decades of Misconduct
31 May
Summary
- Nurse's misconduct spans nearly two decades, involving bullying and discrimination.
- Incidents include denying family visits and beds to patients during the pandemic.
- Convicted nurse refused to continue practicing and owes $50,000 in costs.
A registered nurse in Manitoba has had her license revoked following a series of misconduct allegations spanning nearly two decades. The College of Registered Nurses of Manitoba detailed a pattern of bullying, discriminatory comments about patients, rudeness, and lack of compassion towards both colleagues and patients. These incidents, with some dating back to 2007 and others occurring up to 2021, led to the nurse being deemed 'ungovernable.'
Key incidents included refusing a relative access to a Stage 4 cancer patient during the COVID-19 pandemic and denying a bed to a homeless individual with COVID-19. The nurse also made racist remarks about patients and staff. She was ordered to pay $50,000 for investigation costs, which are expected to exceed $120,000. The nurse, who became an RN in 1995, stated she no longer wished to hold a license and has been under interim suspension since January 2025.
