Ms. Cyr admitted to having accessed, intentionally and without authorization, the electronic records of 79 patients on 88 occasions between December 22, 2020 and March 22, 2021, of which 51 were co-workers and staff and the remaining 28 were members of the community, and admitted to being dishonest when she was confronted by her employer. Ms. Cyr admitted to violating the Code of Ethics for Registered Nurses, the NANB Standards of Practice for Registered Nurses, and her employer’s privacy policies.
The Discipline Committee reprimanded Ms. Cyr for her professional misconduct, conduct unbecoming a nurse, dishonesty, failure to respect patients’ right to privacy and violation of the Code of Ethics for Registered Nurses, the NANB Standards of Practice for Registered Nurses, and NANB Standards for the Nurse-Client Relationship. The Discipline Committee ordered that the suspension of Ms. Cyr’s registration imposed by the Complaints Committee on November 22, 2021, be continued until specific conditions are met.
