Why are fees increasing?
- Who determines BCCNM fees?
- BCCNM fee decisions are made by the
BCCNM Board, who work with college leadership to use its resources wisely and ensure that BCCNM is able to effectively meet its mandate.
- What do BCCNM registration fees pay for?
- Registrant fees fund the work of the college in fulfilling its mandate to protect the public. Our core work includes:
-
Scope of practice and standards: We determine the scope, professional standards and practice standards. To meet changes in the health-care landscape, existing standards must be reviewed and updated regularly, and new standards developed.
-
Education program review and recognition: We review and recognize education programs in BC to ensure new graduates can practise safely, competently, and ethically.
-
Registration: We establish the requirements for registration and assess applicants to determine if they meet those requirements.
-
Continued competence: We maintain a quality assurance program that promotes continued competence throughout the career of a nursing professional or midwife.
-
Investigating complaints: We investigate and take action to resolve complaints related to registrant practice.
- Fee reimbursement for Nurses Bargaining Association members
- Registrants who are also members of the Nurses Bargaining Association are eligible for reimbursement of their BCCNM registration fee. This process will be managed by employers; BCCNM has no additional information available. Please note: Fees for CNPS professional liability protection and NNPBC membership (optional) are not eligible for reimbursement.
After you complete and submit your renewal application, a payment receipt will automatically be sent to your email address on record with BCCNM. You can also update your contact information and access payment receipts in your
BCCNM account.
