In a decision dated December 15, 2025, a panel of the NANB Discipline Committee accepted an Alternate Complaint Resolution Proposal (“ACRP”) between NANB and Mandela Nelson Okinyi Atinga (Registration Number 032027). Mr. Atinga admitted to being on a personal cell phone during work time; failing to complete and record vital signs; failing to complete and record patient assessments; failing to notice that his diabetic patient had been placed on a dextrose infusion and failing to correct the error; failing to conduct hourly patient rounds; administering a medication to a patient three hours early due to failing to verify when the medication had last been administered; failing to administer a scheduled morning insulin dose and failing to detect the error; failing to record relevant information on his worksheet; failing to set an intravenous pump at the appropriate rate; requiring instruction on how to reorder medications; not knowing whether medications could be administered to a patient who was NPO (nothing by mouth) and asking the same question twice; and requiring direction when performing a PICC line dressing change and flushing for the first time.
The NANB Discipline Committee ordered that the suspension of Mr. Atinga’s registration imposed by the NANB Complaints Committee on December 20, 2023 be continued until remedial education is completed. When the remedial education is complete, Mr. Atinga will be eligible to apply for a conditional registration.
