The complaints, filed by family members and one former employee, raised concerns about the care of adult residential clients who were vulnerable and unable to advocate for themselves because of their cognitive, intellectual, and physical disabilities, said the college.
The pair served interim suspensions during the course of the investigation into their nursing practice. As part of the consent agreements, Guttin will comply with a 15-month suspension and Weber an 18-month suspension for unprofessional conduct. Both were credited with 12 months as “time served,” according to the college in a public posting of the decision, dated May 28.
The two have been in administrative roles with the society and have not been working as registered nurses since the college announced the temporary suspensions in 2018, said Garth Homer Society CEO Mitchell Temkin. He said they will continue in those roles until the remaining three months of suspension is completed for Guttin and six months for Weber.
