Registration Suspended, Reprimand Issued
In a decision dated May 31, 2021, the NANB Discipline Committee found that Karen Anne Belliveau, registration number 017418, failed to assess and/or identify significant changes in a patient’s condition and failed to take appropriate action in relation to the patient’s declining health status. Ms. Belliveau chose not to attend the hearing, which demonstrated a lack of accountability for her practice, showed disrespect for the proceedings of the Committee, and demonstrated an unwillingness to be governed.
The Committee reprimanded Ms. Belliveau for violating the Code of Ethics for Registered Nurses and the NANB Standards of Practice for Registered Nurses. The Committee suspended Ms. Belliveau’s registration until specific conditions are met. When those conditions are met, Ms. Belliveau will be eligible to apply for a conditional registration. The Committee also ordered that Ms. Belliveau pay a portion of the costs of the proceedings related to the Complaint.
