Case

In a decision dated December 15, 2025, a panel of the NANB Discipline Committee accepted an Alternate Complaint Resolution Proposal between NANB and Monique Schorer (Registration Number 019867). Ms. Schorer admitted to not following the facility’s palliative care protocol, which requires that a nurse regularly assess a resident’s condition every two hours; being unable to describe the condition of a palliative care resident and the role of the registered nurse during a meeting; contravening the facility’s infection control directives by removing her face mask in the care corridor in August 2022; completing her shift notes under a colleague’s name; leaving the facility to smoke during night shifts while she was the only nurse in the facility and placing a resident in a situation where the resident could have been at risk; failing to complete an incident report and to document a resident’s fall in the resident’s chart; failing to comply with the Canadian Nurses Association’s Code of Ethics for Registered Nurses (2017); and failing to comply with the NANB Standards of Practice for Registered Nurses and the NANB Standards for Documentation.

The NANB Discipline Committee ordered that the suspension of Ms. Schorer’s registration imposed by the Complaints Committee on March 27, 2023 be lifted and that conditions be imposed on Ms. Schorer’s registration.

Ms. Schorer has voluntarily agreed that her registration be subject to the following conditions:

1. Successfully complete remedial education related to the code of ethics, nursing documentation, the nursing profession in Canada, and health assessments;
2. Review the Canadian Nurses Association’s Code of Ethics for Registered Nurses (2017), the NANB Standards of Practice for Registered Nurses, and the NANB Standards for Documentation;
3. Practise under the supervision of a Registered Nurse or Nurse Practitioner for the first 450 hours following her return to the active practise of nursing and submit written reports from the supervising Registered Nurse or Nurse Practitioner;
4. Submit performance evaluations from her employer(s) from the date of her return to the active practise of nursing;
5. Not work independently as a self-employed Registered Nurse or in a supervisory role until she has an unencumbered registration; and
6. Provide each employer and regulatory body with which she is registered with a copy of the Discipline Committee’s Decision and Order and notify NANB of any change in address or employer.
