SEPTEMBER 2025

Unshakeable confidence in nursing and midwifery care

 
 
 

Truth and reconciliation: Relational accountability in action

At BCCNM we believe that to advance our reconciliation journey, we must first pause, reflect, and acknowledge Thee eat (truth), which is that Indigenous-specific racism exists and it is operating within our health-care system every single day. Throughout September, BCCNM will be sharing articles and resources about the ongoing work of the college towards reconciliation and towards building a health system where everyone can receive equitable, competent, and culturally safe care.

Survey: Navigating complex client care decisions and boundaries

 

BCCNM is seeking input from nurses and midwives to inform our review of five standards and policies. Feedback will help determine if current standards need to be updated, whether a combined standard for nurses and midwives could address the realities of practice across professions, and where additional clarity or support is needed.

This anonymous survey will take 10 minutes to complete and closes on Sept. 16, 2025.

Take the survey


INDIGENOUS CULTURAL SAFETY, CULTURAL HUMILITY, AND ANTI-RACISM 

Learning series: From awareness to action

This learning series supports nurses and midwives to understand and apply the principles of the standard in their practice. It incorporates Indigenous experiences to help you learn about culturally unsafe care and reflect on your own practice. Once you complete these modules, you can include them as part of your professional development and self-assessment work to meet the annual QA requirements.
