Based on the information included in the article, punishing this RN is absurd. The quality of care varies far more than it should in Canada and substandard care should be revealed and revised. From personal experience, some nurses are great, and a few should have taken a different career path. Some advocate for and advance the profession, and some denigrate it every day with surly attitudes and indifferent or dangerous care. 

The Colleges have a primary duty to the public. I think it's difficult to do this, or be seen to do this, when the SRNA is both a professional advocate and a regulatory body.
