Background Checks for Nurses & Healthcare Workers
Starting a healthcare role or registering with your college? You’ll need a criminal record or vulnerable sector check. SekCheck gets nurses, care aides and clinical staff cleared quickly — RCMP-accredited, open Mon–Sat in Surrey (Sundays by appointment).
Why healthcare employers and colleges require it
Healthcare workers hold positions of trust over patients, so regulators and employers require a criminal record check — usually a vulnerable sector check — before registration or hiring. That covers nurses (RN/LPN/RPN) registering with BCCNM, health care assistants joining the BC Care Aide Registry, plus pharmacy, dental, lab and hospital support staff.
If your offer letter, college, or health authority asked for a “vulnerable sector” or “criminal record” check, we complete the accredited, fingerprint-based version that’s accepted everywhere.
