Section 17 Disposition versions

2012-09-01

17. Registration under false pretenses, fraud, plagiarism, participation in fraud or plagiarism or attempted fraud or plagiarism with respect to a specialty examination shall result in failure of the specialty examination, by decision of the board of directors of the Order. Within 15 days of its decision, the board of directors must notify the nurse of this decision in writing.

A nurse who fails the specialty examination for one of the reasons set out in the first paragraph may request a review of the decision rendered by the board of directors of the Order, provided that she files a written request with the Order secretary within 30 days of receipt of such decision.

At its first regular meeting following the date on which the request for review was received, the board of directors of the Order must examine this request. It must, before rendering a decision, allow the nurse to submit her comments at this meeting.

A nurse who wishes to attend the meeting in order to be heard must notify the secretary of the Order at least 5 days before the scheduled meeting date. The nurse may, however, submit her comments in writing to the secretary at any time before the scheduled meeting date.

The decision of the board of directors of the Order shall be final and must be sent to the nurse by registered mail within 30 days following the date of the meeting.
