The British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM) is the largest health regulator in Western Canada, overseeing 75,000 licensees. Our legal obligation is to protect the public through the regulation of five distinct professions— licensed practical nurses, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, registered psychiatric nurses, and midwives. Regulation allows BCCNM to set standards for nurses and midwives, ensuring the public receives safe, competent, and ethical care.
We exist to ensure unshakeable confidence in nursing and midwifery care. We nurture confident practitioners armed with a clear understanding of their scope and standards. We honour the trust that the public puts in our hands and aspire to create unwavering confidence in their every interaction with nurses and midwives.
BCCNM has an unwavering commitment to eradicating Indigenous-specific racism in the health-care system. This commitment informs everything we do
