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.

- Understanding scope of practice
-
When nursing came under the Health Professions Act (HPA) in 2005, many registered nurses wondered how provincial legislation affected their practice. The answer is that the HPA — through legislation — defines the scope of practice for RNs.
The
Understanding Scope of Practice learning module provides information and tools to help you explore the scope of practice standards for registered nurses. It begins with an overview of legislation and regulation and how these affect the RN scope of practice. The module highlights restricted activities that are outlined in the regulation in order to increase your understanding of how these apply to your practice.
In addition, there are learning activities throughout the module that provide an in-depth exploration of the
Scope of Practice Standards
for RNs with a focus on:
- Acting within autonomous scope of practice
- Acting with client specific orders
- Giving clients specific orders
Your increased knowledge will enhance your understanding and ability to apply BCCNM's standards, limits and conditions related to scope of practice as it pertains to your own practice setting and competence.
