Jul 27, 2023

The BCCNM board on Jan. 26, 2023, approved revisions to the Entry-Level Competencies for Nurse Practitioners​​.​

These changes take effect Jan. 1, 2024.

The Canadian Council of Registered Nurse Regulators (CCRNR) first published Entry-Level Competencies (ELCs) for Nurse Practitio​ners in Canada in 2016. The process to update the ELCs, which are the basis for the BCCNM Entry-Level Competencies for Nurse Practitioners was led by CCRNR. The competencies are revised periodically to reflect evolving population needs, health system, and NP practice.​

​​​​​​Territorial acknowledgement

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, Inuit​ and Métis 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.​
