Case

Complaints & Discipline

Kendra Leanne MacDonald

Registration # 025941
Decision Date April 13, 2022

Suspension Continued

In a decision dated April 13, 2022, the NANB Fitness to Practice (Review) Committee accepted the Alternate Complaint Resolution Proposal (“ACRP”) submitted by Kendra Leanne MacDonald, registration number 025941.  As a result of the admissions made in the ACRP, the Committee found that Ms. MacDonald failed to meet the standards of practice expected of a nurse by displaying unsafe medication administration, including: missing signatures for the administration of medication, failing to give medications, making medication errors, failing to send orders to the pharmacy, signing for medications without giving them, being responsible for discrepancies in narcotics counts, and failing to discard controlled medications in accordance with policy. Ms. MacDonald also displayed strange behaviour at work and she admits that her medical condition caused problems with her behaviour and job performance, and that she showed poor judgment by staying at work while she felt unwell.  Ms. MacDonald states that she is not medically fit to return to the practice nursing at this time.

The Committee ordered that the suspension of Ms. MacDonald’s registration imposed by the Complaints Committee on November 5, 2018, be continued until specific conditions are met.  When those conditions are met, Ms. MacDonald will be eligible to apply for a conditional registration.
