Get Involved

NANB offers many ways to become involved with the work of the regulator. Involvement from the profession sits at the heart of self-regulation and what we do here at NANB. Through self-regulation, our registrants possess a specialized body of knowledge that places them in the best position to govern their profession when combined with public input from public representatives.

  • NANB boardroom

We are always seeking professional, competent and passionate individuals to contribute to our work and to the direction and vision of nursing regulation in New Brunswick. Opportunities include serving on the Board of Directors or volunteering on committees. If you want a smaller time commitment, you can visit our Public Consultation page to provide feedback on our work or you can participate in NANB events.

Board of Directors

Running for office allows you to influence health care policies, broaden your horizons, network with other leaders, expand your leadership skills, and make things happen in the nursing profession. See the Board of Directors structure.

Why Contribute?

  • Networking opportunities with peers;
  • Protect self-regulation of nurses in the interest of the public;
  • Advocate for the nursing profession;
  • Develop leadership skills.

  • Registered nurse or nurse practitioner in good standing;
  • Knowledge of scope of practice of nursing, practice standards, and entry-level competencies;
  • Must have at least 5 years of nursing experience;

  • Years of nursing experience;
  • Area of nursing practice;
  • Overall composition of each committee.

Interested in making a difference?

If you are interested in making a difference in the nursing profession, please contact nanb@nanb.nb.ca for more information. Only members selected for appointment will be contacted. New committee members  begin serving their first 3-year term on June 1 of the year they were appointed and may be up for re-appointment for a second term.

Role of Public Members

As a regulatory body mandated to protect the public, NANB also needs public members to sit on all of our standing committees to ensure that the public is fairly represented.

Members of the public serve as public directors on the Board of Directors and as public members on the Complaints Committee, the Discipline/Review Committee and the Nursing Education Advisory Committee, on a voluntary basis. Public members are individuals who are not now and have never been registered nurses. Public members should have an interest in the New Brunswick healthcare system, previous committee or board experience, time to devote to the role and knowledge of the nursing profession.

Public members should have:

  • An interest in the health and welfare of the public
  • Previous committee or board experience
  • Time to devote to the role and have some knowledge about the nursing profession.

If you are interested in becoming involved in one of the standing committees as a nurse member or as a volunteer public member, please contact NANB.
