Decisions

NANB frequently receives inquiries regarding the registration status of Donna Collins. Donna Collins was actively registered with NANB as a Registered Nurse from 2000–2012 and as a Nurse Practitioner from 2012–2013. Her registration with NANB expired on December 31, 2013, after which she was no longer authorized to practice nursing or use the titles Registered Nurse (RN) or Nurse Practitioner (NP).

Following a disciplinary hearing on November 22, 2017, Ms. Collins was reprimanded by the Discipline Committee and issued a fine for improper use of actual and fictitious nursing designations such as RN, NP, “RN+” and “DNP”, while not being a registered member of NANB.  Donna Collins has not been registered with NANB since December 31, 2013. She is not authorized to practice nursing in New Brunswick, to hold herself out as a person authorized to practice nursing, or to use such designations.

The Discipline Committee found that some aspects of Mr. Faulkner’s testimony were revealed as half-truths or fabricated and that he often focused on the behaviour of other staff rather than addressing the concerns brought forward regarding his nursing practice.

The Discipline Committee reprimanded Mr. Faulkner for violating NANB’s Standards of Practice for Registered Nurses, the NANB Standards for Documentation, and the NANB Practice Standard for Medication Administration (as it was then called), and for his dishonesty and misrepresentations. The Discipline Committee ordered that the suspension imposed on Mr. Faulkner’s registration by the Complaints Committee in a decision dated October 20, 2020, be continued until specific conditions are met.  When those conditions are met, Mr. Faulkner will be eligible to apply for a conditional registration.
