Association Of New Brunswick License

Description

The Association was formed in 1965 and functioned purely as an Association. Registration was administered under the umbrella of the Nurses Association of New Brunswick until June of 1977. In June of 1977 an Act of Incorporation was assented to in the New Brunswick Legislature which gave the Association of New Brunswick Registered Nursing Assistants the responsibility of administering the education, registration and discipline of Registered Nursing Assistants in New Brunswick.
Proposed changes to that Act which would see the name changing to Licensed Practical Nurse were taken to the New Brunswick Legislature in 1987. This attempt was unsuccessful and it was taken back again in 2000 again with no success. Finally in June of 2002 the Association was successful in their attempt to have changes to the Act and the Association became the Association of New Brunswick Licensed Practical Nurses.
