In a decision dated May 12, 2021, the NANB Discipline Committee found that Pamela Anne Harvey, registration number 022890, ordered that patients be restrained without assessing other alternatives, inappropriately administered medications, failed to document according to the NANB Standards for Documentation, demonstrated no understanding of the importance of accurate documentation, and avoided therapeutic relationships with patients in favour of using medications. Ms. Harvey did not demonstrate insight into her nursing practice deficiencies, took no accountability for them and did not demonstrate that she has the knowledge and skills necessary to provide safe, competent, ethical nursing care.
The Discipline Committee reprimanded Ms. Harvey for violating the Code of Ethics for Registered Nurses, the NANB Standards of Practice for Registered Nurses, the NANB Standards for Documentation, the NANB Practice Standard for Medication Administration, and the NANB Standards for the Therapeutic Nurse-Client Relationship. The Committee ordered that the suspension of Ms. Harvey’s registration be continued until specific conditions are met. When those conditions are met, Ms. Harvey will be eligible to apply for a conditional registration. The Committee also ordered that Ms. Harvey pay a fine and a portion of the costs of the proceedings related to the Complaint.
