Nurse Practitioner (NP)
Entry-level Competencies (ELCs)
Nurse Practitioner (NP) entry-level competencies (ELCs) have been revised and will come into effect in 2024.

The Canadian Council of Registered Nurse Regulators (CCRNR) led a review to update the ELCs for NPs in New Brunswick to ensure they reflect evolving population needs, health care system, and NP practice. This also helps to ensure that ELCs are current and consistent across the country. The NP ELCs were informed by an environmental scan, literature reviews and extensive stakeholder consultation, including a national bilingual online survey available to all registered NPs. The revised NP ELCs will come into effect January 1st 2024. Read more....

Misinformation is hard to avoid in today’s digital media age and this problematic information can have serious consequences for public health and safety. NANB’s newly published fact sheet on misinformation and disinformation aims to help nurses better understand this phenomenon, their professional and ethical accountabilities when sharing information, as well as strategies to mitigate potential consequences of health misinformation.
