In a decision dated August 15, 2023, a panel of the NANB Discipline Committee accepted the Alternate Complaint Resolution Proposal (“ACRP”) submitted by Eric Tande Lawaza, Registration Number 030439, to address practice issues related to his failure to adhere to professional practice and nursing standards involving medication management, documentation, patient assessments, and communication. As a result of the admissions made in the ACRP, the Discipline Committee found that Mr. Lawaza made medication errors, prepared inaccurate and/or incomplete documentation and failed to document his observations, complete an incident report in a timely manner, change a patient’s catheter, get a coworker to co-sign the wastage of narcotics, properly identify a specimen, ensure that a patient’s call bell was within the patient’s reach, call a patient’s family member when the palliative care protocol was initiated, and ensure a vulnerable patient’s safety by leaving a soiled needle by his bedside.
The Discipline Committee ordered that the suspension of Mr. Lawaza’s registration imposed by the Complaints Committee on November 19, 2021, be continued until specific conditions are met. When those conditions are met, Mr. Lawaza will be eligible to apply for a conditional registration.
