The Nursing Memorial Book follows an established tradition set initially by the Registered Nurses Association of BC (RNABC), carried on by it's successor the College of Registered Nurses of BC (CRNBC) and then the Association of Registered Nurses of BC (ARNBC) by creating an historical record honouring deceased nurses who deserve recognition for their contributions to nursing in B.C.
NNPBC is honoured to carry on this tradition.
