A Manitoba nurse, Nipaben Patel, has had her nursing license revoked and was fined $10,000 after admitting to professional misconduct that led to a patient’s cardiac arrest last fall. Patel, who had previously practiced in India, improperly administered fentanyl and succinylcholine without a doctor’s consent, demonstrating severe negligence and lack of judgment. Following an investigation, her actions were deemed egregious, prompting the College of Registered Nurses of Manitoba to strip her of her license after she pleaded guilty to four charges. Patel’s failure to follow safety protocols and communicate effectively with her healthcare team significantly endangered the patient’s life.
