Jim Coulter ve as TERRACE ~— Jt could take several weeks before a discipline committee of the Registered Nurses Association of B.C. (RNABC) decides ‘if a local nurse acted unethically for hav- ing conversations about abor- Hons with hospital patients. The hearing for Mills Memorial Hospital nurse Isobel . Brophy taok place in’ Van- couver and ended May 12:after ‘five days of testimony, Brophy, who is active in the local pro-life society, could lose - her registered’ nurse’s licence and thus her job. - The committee heard of six’ complaints made about Brophy concerning conversations about abortion, One was dropped dur-_ : ing the course of the hearing. Brophy doesn't deny that conversations did take place but © says women are not given full. information on the physical and . psychological after effects of the procedure, “T heard they (the committee) is going to get right down to it.- But it could take until the end of the month once the decision is written and distributed,’ said _ Brophy following the conclu sion of the hearing. The charges were laid follow- - ing an investigation by an RNABC employee into Broephy’s actions during the 1989 nurses’ strike in which the - nurse said she would picket nur- . sing pickets if a scheduled abor- tion took place. Brophy told the hospital and | _her union of her intentions in two letters, leading the hospital to cancel the abortion. She said abortions couldn’t be considered as one of the |_emergency medical procedures striking nurses and the hospital agreed would take place during the course of the strike, Testimony at the hearing in- dicated the hospital and the woman's doctor were worried the identify of the patient might be revealed should Brophy publicize her picket plans, The abortion was conducted 7 later with, according to infor- Mation gathered by the RNABC, a greater risk to the patient. It was during the investiga- tion of that situation that peo- ' ple came forward with informa- tion on the other incidents. Speaking after the hearing, Brophy said it was one of the Most intense experiences she has ever been through. “I was on trial, abortion was on trial, the right of a nurse to have ethical and moral beliefs was on trial, the right of a woman to be fully informed was on trial,” she said, Lack of help sited ' Isobel Brophy Brophy added that any sug- gestions her actions .during the 1989 strike would include doing anything to lead to the identity of the patient scheduled to have the abortion were wrong, She said the committee was very interested in the source of the complaint made during the 1989 strike because it didn’t come from a patient, nurse, hospital employee or official at the hospital, : “No one had ever brought wp . anything before,” said: a Brophy. Youth centre closes TERRACE — The Terrace Youth Centre has been forced to close its doors, : No one has stepped forward to lead the centre now that organizer Diana Wong is mov- ing to Victoria, As a result, the centre — which has provided a safe drug-free activity-filled haven for children and young adolescents —- is shutting down, “We're just not getting, any funding —. federally.or provin- cially,” Wong explained last week. ““We just couldn’t keep it going anymore, but it’s not for any lack of trying,’’ Until now the centre has been run by volunteers, and it has survived on donations and money from local service clubs and businesses, “The centre’s just been hang- ing by a thread for a while because of the lack of money and, committed volunteers,” secretary Betty Ruksys added. “] don’t know what the pro- blem is. 1,guess people only have limited time that they're. able or willing to give. It (clos- ing) was a.really hard decision, but we just couldn’t go on.”’ Although the board of direc- + hi Regular Quality. 5 Ib. Chub, 4.40 ea.
