Renewal for dual registrants

​Dual registrants are individuals that hold more than one nursing designation (LPN, NP, RN, RPN), or hold registration as a nurse and a midwife in British Columbia

Renewal applications

You will still need to complete a renewal application for each registration you want to maintain. We’re working on making this easier for you, but our current system still processes each application separately.

Fees

For the time being, you will continue to pay a separate registration fee for each designation. This is because the costs associated with assessing your application, and regulating you as a registrant in that designation, have not yet been integrated.

CNPS professional liability protection

If you hold practising RN and RPN registration, you will only pay for CNPS professional liability protection​ once.

Practice hours requirements 

The practice hours requirement for each designation remains unchanged:

Counting practice hours

Hours counted should be specific to the registration you are renewing (e.g. If you are renewing your RN registration, you should only be counting hours worked in N scope), as you always have.

Primary employer

The primary employer should be the employer that you work with most in the designation you are renewing (e.g. If you are renewing your RN registration, list the employer that you work for the most in an RN role).​​​

NNPBC membership

​​If you will be purchasing your association membership during renewal, only select the option to purchase on one renewal application.​

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, Métis, and Inuit peoples from elsewhere in Canada who now live in British Columbia.
