​BCCNM is introducing a jurisprudence requirement for licensees. It is being rolled out in phases. Nurses will be contacted when it's their time to complete the modules. You are welcome to complete them now.

Requ​​irement

Complete all 10 modules by your assigned deadline. Save your certificates of completion, as you may be asked to submit them as proof you've met your requirement.

What will I learn?

The modules are broken into two groups.

First, there are six Indigenous Cultural Safety, Cultural Humility and Anti-racism modules to complete. BCCNM has committed to addressing Indigenous-specific racism in the health-care system, and these modules are a key introduction to this work.

The second group is four modules on foundational principles, including scope of practice, BCCNM's role, legislation, and competence.
