Conference Sponsorships

The BC Nurses’ Union invited student nurse members to apply for our upcoming Annual Convention, held Nov. 2 - 4, 2022 in Vancouver.

Each year delegates and observers from across the province come together and discuss the business of the union. It is an opportunity for students to connect with other student nurses, future colleagues and learn more about the workings of the union. BCNU sponsors one student from each of our 16 regions to attend Convention.

For more information email studentnurse@bcnu.org.

The BCNU Human Rights and Equity conference offers an opportunity to explore some of the significant social and political issues. The conference brings nursing colleagues together to engage in dialogue on these and other related issues and to reflect collectively on how we can shape our future as nurses, health-care workers and union activists.

​BCNU hosted a number of online Nursing Professional Practice Workshops featuring local and global experts on a variety of themes. 

These events do not require students to submit an application form. Students are registered alongside regular members on a first-come, first-served basis.

The October 28 - 31, 2021 CNSA Western Prairie Regional Conference theme was Building Nurses Self-Care and Resilience and featured engaging workshops to help soon-to-be nurses learn valuable coping skills. The conference was organized by nursing students at Thompson Rivers University and was focused on having more workshops with fewer guest speakers, so that participants could learn new skills.
