Initial Registration for NPs

A nurse practitioner (NP) must be registered with the Nurses Association of New Brunswick in order to practice. At the present time only primary health care NP’s are eligible for registration.

The Nurses Act stipulates that the nurse practitioner must have reasonable access to a physician for the purpose of consultation with respect to any client and be able to refer or transfer any client to the care of a physician.

The nurse practitioner must provide to the NANB Registrar, annually, the employee’s name and a statement from the employer verifying that the nurse practitioner, in the course of employment, has reasonable access to a physician for the purpose of consultation and referral or transfer of any client to a physician for care. The nurse practitioner must notify the NANB Registrar immediately if employment circumstances change.

Nurse Practitioner Consultation and Referral Statement

Please Note:

NANB must receive your NP consultation and referral statement form signed by your employer or referring physician BEFORE you can renew your 2012 registration.
