Complaints & Discipline

Elaine Bourdages

Registration # 020817
Decision Date August 8, 2023

Suspension Continued

In a decision dated August 8, 2023, a panel NANB Discipline Committee accepted the Alternate Complaint Resolution Proposal (“ACRP”) submitted by Elaine Bourdages, Registration Number 020817. As a result of the admissions made in the ACRP, the Discipline Committee found that Ms. Bourdages failed to adhere to professional practice and nursing standards involving medication management, professional communication (including with psychiatry patients), documentation, critical thinking, and wound care. Ms. Bourdages admitted that her conduct was unbecoming of a Registered Nurse and that it was contrary to the Standards of Practice for Registered Nurses and the Code of Ethics for Registered Nurses.

The Discipline Committee ordered that the suspension of Ms. Bourdages’ registration imposed by the Complaints Committee on January 11, 2021, be continued until specific conditions are met.  When those conditions are met, Ms. Bourdages will be eligible to apply for a conditional registration.
