Help​​ us field test new assessments

The Nursing Community Assessment Service (NCAS) ​provides a competency assessment service for internationally educated nurses and healthcare assistants seeking to license in British Columbia or Maritime Canada. NCAS is currently ​looking for licensed practical nurses (LPNs) and registered nurses (RNs) to test its new assessments. Field testing is part of NCAS's quality assurance program.

Requirements​​

Eligible LPNs and RNs may be:

  • experienced,
  • recent graduates, or
  • students (in their last term)

What's involved

The assessment testing will take place at Langara College's nursing simulation lab on Saturday, Nov. 13, 2021. Each participant will be scheduled for a 3-hour testing window between 2:30 p.m. and 10 p.m.

Participants will complete a simulation-based assessment consisting of 4–5 clinical scenarios (approx. 30 minutes each). Results are anonymous and will never be shared with your employer, colleagues, or teachers.

Each participant will receive a $50 gift card in exchange for their time.

We acknowledge the rights and title of the First Nations on whose collective unceded territories encompass the land base colonially known as British Columbia. We give specific thanks to the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ speaking peoples the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations and the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh-ulh Sníchim speaking Peoples the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation), on whose unceded territories BCCNM’s office is located. We also give thanks for the medicines of these territories and recognize that laws, governance, and health systems tied to these lands and waters have existed here for over 9000 years.

We also acknowledge the unique and distinct rights, including rights to health and wellness, of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples from elsewhere in Canada who now live in British Columbia. As leaders in the settler health system, we acknowledge our responsibilities to these rights under international, national, and provincial law.​
