Web learning modules offer you a convenient way to learn. They allow you to learn at your own pace at any time of day. The modules are segmented into topic areas, so you can either complete the modules in their entirety or select a single topic area to focus on. For added convenience, you can stop mid-way through the module and then later return to where you left off to continue your learning.

Professional boundaries in nursing practice
How comfortable and confident are you in recognizing, establishing and maintaining appropriate professional boundaries in your practice? Can you identify where a professional relationship ends and a personal relationship begins? Can you navigate ‘grey zones’?
This module tunnels down to the foundations that support therapeutic relationships and the potential slippery slope of boundary drifts, crossings and violations. Stories from nurses in variety of roles and practice contexts illustrate common boundary violations. Learn strategies on recognizing and preventing crossed boundaries.

- Controlled Drugs and Substances (CDS)

CDS prescribing is a complex area of practice with high rates of morbidity and mortality associated with drug interactions, overdose and addictions. The competencies associated with this practice are distinct and beyond those related to prescribing generally. As such, the BCCNM Standard for CDS prescribing outlines a number of related conditions, including the requirement to successfully complete one of three foundational courses accepted by BCCNM in controlled drugs and substances prescribing and this CDS prescribing learning module.
This module builds on the foundational course NPs take on CDS prescribing. It includes information and activities designed to support NPs in:
- applying the relevant federal and provincial legislation
- understanding the
BCCNM Standards, Limits, Conditions and Competencies for nurse practitioners for prescribing CDS in the context of NP practice
- recognizing the risks and mitigating factors associated with prescribing CDS
- using pharmacovigilance and applying best practices to mitigate these risks
- being aware and applying the requirements of the Controlled Prescription Program and PharmaNet when prescribing CDS
