Your pathway

We need more information to determine your pathway.

Here's what we know so far. BCCNM and Inspire will confirm which process applies to you.

How we got here

  • Your nursing program: We can't confirm whether your program type qualifies for the expedited process. BCCNM will decide this when they review your education. If you trained in UK Mental Health nursing, see the BCCNM note above.
  • Recent education or practice: We need to know when you finished your program or how many verified hours you've practised in the last 5 years.
