LPN, RN, and RPN Scope: Same requirements, new format
As part of preparing for the new Health Professions and Occupations Act (2022) to come into force, BCCNM will be transitioning LPN, RN, and RPN scope of practice documents to stand-alone practice standards (including limits and conditions) and new learning resources. On the BCCNM website, these standards will be joining other practice standards (LPN, RN, and RPN).
There will not be any changes to the requirements in these standards, limits or conditions. We are currently engaging with nurses across the health system to inform this transition. We anticipate these changes taking place by August 2025.
