The lawyer for a B.C. nurse facing a disciplinary hearing over her gender-related online comments told the regulatory body its decision could mean “disaster” for the standing of the nursing profession.

Final arguments for Amy Hamm were heard by a B.C. College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM) discipline committee panel on March 18 and 19. The college started its investigation in November 2020, and the disciplinary hearing began in 2022.
