Bc Nurse Temporarily Banned From Practice After Relationships

According to a summary of a consent agreement shared by the BC College of Nurses and Midwives on Tuesday, Carey Motloch of Lake Country agreed not to apply to renew her expired nursing registration for at least three years because of two relationships that developed between 2017 and 2019. A relationship allegedly began after a client was admitted in 2017 to a long-term care facility where Motloch worked. “Within a year of the client’s admission, Ms. Motloch entered into a relationship with her son,” the summary said. Motloch was apparently spotted by a co-worker in 2018 in an “overly intimate interaction,” so she told management about the relationship. As a result, her colleagues had to care for and assist the client due to “boundary issues” in their relationship, the BCCNM explained. “Professional and practice standards prohibit nurses from initiating a friendly or romantic relationship with a client or the client’s family or friends,” the summary of the consent agreement said. “Nurses must report boundary violations to the appropriate person. If a nurse must or wants to provide care to family or friends, they must discuss boundaries and dual roles (personal and professional) with everyone affected.” Before that, Motloch allegedly had an affair with the wife of a deceased client. The BCCNM summary said Motloch cared for a client between 2014 and 2017, during which time she developed a friendship with the woman’s elderly husband. “After the client’s death, the wife and Mrs. Motloch began meeting for coffee,” the summary said. “The husband’s daughter observed him texting Ms Motloh that he loved her; in December 2017, she raised concerns about her father’s attachment to Ms Motloh.” According to the BCCNM, the husband told his daughter that Motloch had cancer and financial problems. But Motloch did not have cancer, the BCCNM summary said. About a year and a half later, the husband’s daughter was still concerned about the relationship, saying her father was apparently giving money to Motloch. BCCNM said four checks totaling $16,000 were made out to Motloch over a four-month period, adding that Motloch wrote the checks herself and had the wife sign them. “He claimed the checks were in exchange for specific items he sold to the wife through a buy and sell business,” the BCCNM summary said. “No records were provided of the items or their sale, and the items in question were not found in the wife’s personal belongings.” Currently, Motloch is not legally able to work as a nurse in BC because her registration has expired. He agreed that he would not reapply for at least three years and, even if he did, would be screened by the registration committee “to see if he met the criteria for fitness to practice, nursing ability and good character.” The BCCNM investigation said it believed these mutually agreed terms “will protect the public”.
