Jan 4, 2022

Effective Jan. 4, 2022, the Regulatory Exam - Practical Nurse (REx-PN)​ is now the recognized entry-to-practice exam for practical nursing in British Columbia and Ontario. 

The launch of the REx-PN is the culmination of years of exam development by BCCNM, the College of Nurses of Ontario and the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN). We thank our partners, and appreciate and thank stakeholders who contributed to the exam's development by providing feedback and/or participating in item writing and item review panels.

We acknowledge the rights and title of the First Nations on whose collective unceded territories encompass the land base colonially known as British Columbia. 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. As leaders in the settler health system, we acknowledge our responsibilities to these rights under international, national, and provincial law.​
