MAY 2026

Unshakeable confidence in nursing and midwifery care

BCCNM is pleased to release its 2025 Annual Report.

Red Dress Day - May 5

May 5 is the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and 2SLGBTQIA+ People, also known as Red Dress Day. As part of our work to address Indigenous-specific racism in the B.C. health-care system, BCCNM recognizes Red Dress Day, and we pledge to continue our work to make the health-care system culturally safe for Indigenous Peoples.

Bear Witness Day - May 10

BCCNM acknowledges and honours Bear Witness Day. This day marks Spirit Bear’s birthday and honours the memory of Jordan River Anderson through the full and proper implementation of Jordan’s Principle—a child-first legal rule that ensures First Nations children receive the services and supports they need, when they need them.

Indigenous Service Canada Workforce Survey

Help shape the future of nursing in Canada! Indigenous Services Canada is conducting a National Nursing Labour Market Survey. This study aims to better understand the factors that influence the attraction, recruitment, development, and retention of RNs and NPs across Canada. Your feedback will help inform and strengthen recruitment and retention strategies for Indigenous Services Canada, and other Indigenous healthcare organizations. Survey findings will be shared with Canadian nursing regulators and other partners. The survey takes approximately 20-25 minutes.

Regulatory supervision

Regulatory supervision is more than “watching" a student. It is a professional decision-making process that uses assessment, communication, risk evaluation, and ongoing supervision planning to protect clients while supporting student learning.

Office closed

BCCNM's office will be closed on Monday, May 18. We will reopen at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, May 19.
