Celebrating nurses

This year, we celebrate Nursing Week from May 8-14 with the theme #OurNursesOurFuture. As Canada’s largest group of health-care professionals, we recognize the fundamental role that nurses play. From advocating for the most vulnerable among us, to conducting innovative research to help shape public policy, nurses contribute to every aspect of our health-care system.

You make a difference in the lives of patients, clients, and their families. Thank you for all you do to support the physical and mental health of British Columbians.
