JUNE 2026

Unshakeable confidence in nursing and midwifery care

Limits and conditions on administering naloxone removed for RPNs and LPNs

The BCCNM board on June 4, 2026, approved revisions to the LPN and RPN Acting within Autonomous Scope of Practice standards to remove the limits and conditions on administering naloxone. This change takes effect immediately.

Review the revised standards:

Surveys

Professional Boundaries and Conflict of Interest

BCCNM is seeking feedback on drafted revisions to the Nurses: Boundaries in the Nurse-Client Relationship and Nurses: Conflict of Interest standards. We are updating these standards to reflect today’s health-care settings, clarify expectations, strengthen public protection, and better support culturally safe and anti-racist care.

Surveys close June 24, 2026

Nursing Standards

BCCNM invites all nurses to complete two surveys about nursing standards of practice.

The first survey focuses on your experiences with the LPN, RN, RPN, and NP Professional Standards and the RPN Code of Ethics. Your feedback will support the revision of these standards. The second survey explores how nurses use and apply standards of practice, including the workplace changes and trends.

Surveys close July 28, 2026
