NANAIMO — A local nurse will serve a one-week suspension from their job after an investigation from the B.C. College of Nurses & Midwives (BCCNM).
In a consent agreement approved on Sunday, Sep. 4, the College noted Jeremiah Isaksen had voluntarily agreed to the suspension after a review of his actions while employed as a community health nurse with seniors in Nanaimo.
The BCCNM’s investigation looked at issues in Isaksen’s conduct between 2021 and March 2022
“(Isaksen) requested that a coworker create false vaccination records for him and said/shared on social media that the COVID-19 vaccine was unnecessary, unsafe, and possibly lethal,” the public notice on the College’s website read.
