National Nursing Week: May 11-17, 2026


May 11, 2026

​May 11-17 is National Nursing Week.

As a health regulator, BCCNM sets standards for nurses and midwives in B.C., in service of our public protection mandate.

We take this moment to express our gratitude to the nursing community for your outstanding efforts in delivering safe and timely care to everyone.

We also want to acknowledge our staff and key partners, including associations, agencies, and government, who work each day to improve the health-care system and ensure all British Columbians receive safe, compassionate care.

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, Inuit​ and Métis 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.​
