Nursing is a self-regulating profession where nurses set their own standards of practice “based on research and clinical evidence” (College of Registered Nurses of British Columbia [CRNBC], 2013), and ensures that patients receive the highest quality care possible (CRNBC, 2013). All nurses are required to meet The College of Registered Nurses of British Columbia’s (CRNBC) annual Continuing Competence Requirements as an indicator to the public that they are maintaining their competence to practice (CRNBC, 2013).
