Adèle LeBlanc, RN, Cap-Pelé, received her diploma from the Université de Moncton as a registered nurse in 2012. She continued her career at Villa Providence, where she started as a care attendant, advanced to student nurse and finally became a registered nurse. In 2019, she embarked on a new adventure with the Extra-Mural Program (EMP) as a travelling nurse. Just before her second maternity leave at the end of 2021, she accepted a position as a manager with the EMP, where she still works today.

“I am interested in applying to represent Region 1 as a director, following a conversation with a former colleague who is now a manager. I have always wanted to forge ahead and advance in my career without too much planning, letting things happen as fate would have it. This allows me to learn more about the evolution and needs of the nursing practice.”

Robyn Hamilton, NP, Fredericton, graduated from the Nurse Practitioner program from the University of New Brunswick in 2019. She also received her Bachelor of Nursing from UNB in 2015. Robyn is currently employed as a Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioner with Horizon Health. Robyn has been interim director for Region 1 since 2025.

“I am happy to accept the nomination to join the Board of Directors to continue contributing to the nursing practice and public protection. With my current clinical experience, I can provide a practical, front-line perspective and help contribute to the continuation of safe, ethical, and high-quality nursing practices in New Brunswick. I hope to continue working with this lovely team.”

Mélissa Duguay, RN, Edmundston, graduated from the Université de Moncton in 2004 with a bachelor of nursing. She is currently working on her master of nursing thesis.
