Provisional Nurse Practitioner (NP) Registration

B.C. NP graduates are eligible to apply for provisional NP registration, which enables you to work as an NP (with conditions) in B.C. prior to passing the written exam and OSCE. This provisional NP registration is granted for a specific employer. If you decide to switch NP employers or wish to add a second employer an updated application for provisional NP registration is required. 

​As a provisional NP, you are not eligible to independently prescribe medications nor order diagnostic tests. Your practice must be monitored by a B.C.-registered NP or Physician. Learn more a bout provisional registration conditions and monitoring requirements. ​

Please note: Applying for provisional registration is only required if you plan to practise as a provisional NP prior to passing the exam and obtaining full BCCNM registration. As a provisional  (or practising) NP, you are authorized to continue practising as an RN. You must work within the applicable scope and use the appropriate title for the position you are hired in.
