  • Kendra Leanne MacDonald (Registration # 025941)

    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.

The Discipline Committee found that Mr. Diallo committed multiple documentation omissions and errors, failed to prioritize appropriate patient care and follow-up, administered medication by the incorrect route and the wrong dosage, and demonstrated inadequate knowledge of medications.

    The Discipline Committee ordered that the suspension of Mr. Diallo’s registration by the Complaints Committee on July 8, 2020, be continued until specific conditions are met.  When those conditions are met, Mr. Diallo will be eligible to apply for a conditional registration.
