Consent Agreement
In a decision dated October 30, 2025, a panel of the NANB Complaints Committee accepted a Consent Agreement between NANB and Cathline Allain (Registration Number 024299). Ms. Allain admitted to being the Nurse Manager on duty in the Emergency Department (“ED”) when she noticed two (2) ED Registered Nurses (“RNs”) receiving intravenous (“IV”) treatments after having attended a retirement event the previous evening, to another ED RN being present in the same room, and to asking those ED RNs if they had had a “rough night” at the retirement event. Ms. Allain further admitted to not seeking guidance or support from her superiors or from Human Resources upon discovering that the ED RNs were receiving IV treatments during work hours, and failing to ensure that appropriate steps were followed if treatment was in fact necessary, including registration, triage, and consultation with a physician prior to receiving treatment.
Ms. Allain has voluntarily agreed to the following conditions on her registration:
- Successfully complete remedial education related to professionalism, professional accountability and critical thinking for ethical practice in nursing;
- Submit performance evaluations from her employer(s) from the date of the Consent Agreement;
- Not work independently as a self-employed Registered Nurse or in a supervisory role; and
- Provide each employer and regulatory body with which she is registered with a copy of the Consent Agreement and corresponding Complaints Committee Decision and notify NANB of any change in address or employer.
