The College of Registered Nurses of Manitoba issued censures against three nurses after investigations determined each had breached professional standards.
One nurse was found to have accessed patients’ medical records without proper authorization, constituting a privacy violation. A second nurse engaged in inappropriate touching of students, which the regulator classified as harassment. The third nurse made false and defamatory statements about the regulator on a podcast, leading to a finding of defamation.
The regulator’s actions address breaches involving privacy, student safety, and the integrity of the profession.
