The BC College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM) is the organization that regulates all nurses (i.e., licensed practical nurses, registered nurses, registered psychiatric nurses, & nurse practitioners) and all registered midwives in BC.

We recognize that care experiences can be deeply personal, and that some communities face systemic barriers, discrimination, or inequities in the health system. This survey invites you to share your experiences or expectations around nursing or midwifery care, particularly in situations where care may have been declined or ended.

These situations may occur when:
• The care requested is outside a nurse or midwife’s legal scope or professional standards
• A provider has a conscientious objection based on personal or ethical beliefs
• There are safety concerns or a breakdown in trust
• A client makes decisions that differ from the providers clinical recommendations

Even in these cases, nurses and midwives are expected to ensure your care continues in a safe, respectful, and culturally appropriate way.

We’d like to hear about your experiences when care was declined or ended. Your input will help inform the expectations nurses and midwives must meet to ensure they provide safe care in these situations.

Your input will help inform the expectations nurses and midwives must meet to ensure they provide safe care in these situations.

This survey is anonymous and will take approximately 5 minutes to complete. Please email policysurvey@bccnm.ca if you have questions about this survey.

The Patient Voices Network has connected me to a community with the same drive to bring person- and family-centred care to the forefront. I am grateful for all opportunities I have been a part of thanks to PVN, which positively impacts patients like my sister and their caregivers. No matter how small, all patient engagement will help shape the future of health care and that I can stand behind
