This page is dedicated to supporting Registered Nurses certified by the BC College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM) in performing specific activities within their independent scope of practice. The Certified Practice Decision Support Tools (DSTs) detailed here outline the activities included in the certified practice guidelines.
At BCCDC, we are committed to ensuring these tools are regularly reviewed and updated to remain consistent with best practices and the latest evidence. These tools are designed to guide RN(C)s but do not replace the responsibility to exercise clinical judgement anf provide evidence-based, ethical care. When appropriate, consult or refer to a physician or nurse practioner if the plan of action differs from the RNCP DST.
For an overview of the difference between RN practice and RN(C) practice please review this document.
The STI Certified Practice DSTs will be published here on July 10th. Until then, the STI Certified Practice DSTs can be accessed on the NNPBC website.
