Canada: Nurse guilty of professional misconduct
thestarphoenix.com on October 22, 2011 reported that a Saskatoon nurse has been found guilty of professional misconduct by the Saskatchewan Registered Nurses' Association for sexually inappropriate conduct. The nurses' association discipline committee found that of 15 instances where Gregory Pittman said or did something that was deemed inappropriate by his coworkers, 11 were substantiated. The remaining four instances were dismissed, according to the decision of the committee dated Sept. 20. Pittman was fired with cause by the Saskatoon Health Region from his job as a registered nurse in the orthopedic in-patient unit at Saskatoon City Hospital on May 20, 2010. The health region then filed a complaint about Pittman's behaviour with the nurses' association, which led to the discipline committee's two-day hearing this past May.
