ADVISORY: B.C. nurses job action


Jul 3, 2026

​BCCNM is aware that nurses i​​​n British Columbia have initiated job action.

Nurses have the right to participate in the collective bargaining process. BCCNM is not a party to collective bargaining, which is a matter between employers and unions. Our role is to regulate nurses and midwives in the public interest.

During any job action, nurses continue to be accountable for meeting BCCNM's Standards of Practice and fulfilling their professional and ethical responsibilities, including their duty to provide care.

The following resources are available to support nurses in understanding and meeting their professional obligations during job action:

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.​
