NNPBC is home for nurses in BC, transforming health and health systems through the breadth of nursing expertise. NNPBC supports and promotes excellence in all domains of nursing practice and enables nurses to lead, influence, and transform health, the health care system, health and social policy, and the nursing profession itself.

We offer a fully remote work environment, and an organizational culture focused on safety, joy, and meaningful contributions to the health of British Columbians through the powerful work of nursing.

NNPBC is committed to truth and reconciliation, guided by the Indigenous Cultural Safety, Cultural Humility, and Anti-Racism practice standards for nurses in BC.

Our work is multigenerational, and we are dedicated to meaningful, ongoing reconciliation efforts. As an NNPBC team member, a personal and professional commitment to culturally safer practices, cultural humility, anti-racism, justice and equity is core to this role.
