A nurse must hold a valid registration or licence to practice as a registered nurse in one of the provincial or territorial nursing associations. In BC, the British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM) is the professional, self-regulatory body for the province's nurses.

For more information about becoming registered in the province of BC, please visit the BCCNM website.
