Diversity and Inclusion
X
NNPBC is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion and especially welcomes the contributions of members who identify as Indigenous, racialized/persons of colour, LGBTQIA2S+, persons with disabilities, and others who are marginalized. We recognize the impacts of colonialism, disrupt racism and discrimination, and practice cultural safety and humility.
Our Vision
X
NNPBC is home for nurses in BC, using our nursing expertise to transform health and health systems within British Columbia.
Our Mission
X
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.
Our History
X
BC's four nursing associations, which represented the four nursing designations BC - RNs, LPNs, NPs and RPNs - have been collaborating closely since 2013 on the BC Coalition of Nursing Associations (BCCNA or the Coalition). This collaboration was groundbreaking in demonstrating the importance of collaboration and nursing unity to strengthen the profession.
Over the past several years since the Coalition was formed, we have learned that equal representation, regardless of the numbers of nurses working in each designation, is a very important part of an effective and fair Board. This equal representation is vital to the smooth running of the organization so that each designation has an equal and valued voice at the table and in our decision-making processes.
While the Coalition was a powerful force in bringing together the nursing profession in the province and demonstrating that it is possible to break down the siloes and hierarchies that exist in the profession, the nursing groups were not unified under a single umbrella, until now.
Now, NNPBC celebrates five years as the single united professional association representing all nursing designations in this province. We are privileged to have been the first united association of this kind in Canada, and to represent a strong voice of BC nurses on the national and international stage.
By our mandate, NNPBC supports and promotes excellence in nursing practice, education, research and leadership, and empowers nurses to actively engage in advocacy to influence health and social policy. Over these few years, NNPBC has significantly grown its programs and offerings, which include professional development, professional practice, research, career advancement, and networking opportunities and resources. We look forward to continuing to grow our programs for our members.
Thank you to our members, the RNs, RPNs, NPs and LPNs of BC, for your dedication to advancing a united nursing voice.

Hello! My name is Tanya Peever. I am currently employed as a Family Nurse Practitioner and Clinical Team Lead at the NP Lead KB Health Primary Care Clinic serving the Kootenay Boundary Region.
I was born and raised in Southern BC and after a short stay in Alberta, have made my way back to Nelson. I completed a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2014 from Douglas College. This was followed by working in a rural hospital where I primarily focused on Emergency care. I was able to shift focus towards Primary Care while completing my Masters of Nursing from University of Saskatchewan. My education and work experiences have lent itself to a positive start into independent practice following amazing mentorship from all sources.
Since returning to Southern BC, I have been provided with many opportunities to grow my role as a Nurse Practitioner. This has allowed me to learn from visionaries to continue the ongoing growth of the Nurse Practitioner but also growth strength in my own practice. I have found myself working with the Divisions of Family Practice on numerous projects. I am also a current member of the BCCNM Registration Committee.
In this role, I hope to collaborate with colleagues and bring a uniquely rural lens to the provision of care. I am a keen advocate for ongoing learning, team based care, and reduction of barriers to care for patients.
In my spare time, I enjoy being outdoors, primarily in the form of some kind of downhill sport such as snowboarding or mountain biking. I love to be challenged with new learning of all kinds.
