APRIL 2025

Unshakeable confidence in nursing and midwifery care

 
 
 

Survey opportunities


Proposed revisions to three practice standards

We are seeking input from nurses on proposed changes to the Consent, Documentation, and Privacy and Confidentiality practice standards. Changes aim to address risks, increase clarity, and align with the Health Professions and Occupations Act requirements. These anonymous surveys will take 10-15 minutes to complete and close at 11:59 p.m. on April 10.

Honouring and celebrating Indigenous Nurses Day in B.C.

On April 10, 2025, we celebrate Indigenous Nurses Day in British Columbia. We take this moment to honour and celebrate the achievements of all Indigenous nurses, and recognize the impact Indigenous nurses have had, and continue to have, in the health system across the province.

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.​
