 Welcome to the BCCNM QA program

As part of our mandate to protect the public through the regulation of nurses, BCCNM is required to maintain a quality assurance program. The purpose of the QA program is to promote high practice standards as part of ensuring clients continually receive competent and ethical care, and to support nurses to engage in annual professional development.

Nurses are autonomous professionals, with broad scope and significant professional responsibility. This means they must be lifelong learners, who continually assess and improve their practice.

By participating in BCCNM's Quality Assurance Program throughout the year, nurses demonstrate to the public they are committed to maintaining their competence to practise and that they take their professional development obligation seriously. Meeting QA requirements is an important way to maintain the public's trust in nurses.

Help & support

The BCCNM QA team is available to assist nurses with all aspects of quality assurance. They can support nurses in their self-assessment, help set professional development goals, and review feedback from colleagues—they are a resource for all nurses participating in BCCNM's QA program. The QA team is available via email, as well as by phone.

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.​
