Laura Donnelly, RN, NP
Email: laura.donnelly6@gmail.com
Laura is a nurse practitioner, but her roots are as a primary care nurse. She worked for five years as an RN and loved the possibilities that came with the role. She has worked mainly as primary care nurse and chronic disease nurse in English and French positions. Laura has a growing passion for women’s health, functional medicine and all topics related to preventative care. Upstream thinking, client empowerment, education and community engagement at a grassroots level remain pillars of her practice. She is thankful for the association as an avenue to meet primary care nurses across the province and country, and to advance excellence and education for this vital area of practice!

Ruth Campbell RN
Email: Ruth2.Campbell@nshealth.ca
Ruth graduated from Dalhousie School of Nursing in 2003. Since then she worked primarily in women's health for 15 years, with the majority of that being in labour and delivery. During this time she was part of the obstetrical flight time with LifeFlight for 10 years and was also an on call sexual assault nurse for two years. In early 2018 she moved to primary health care. The practice consists mostly of young families, and the majority of her work is prenatal care. Ruth is passionate about this population, especially with my background in labour and delivery. She is happy to be a provincial representative with CFPNA and looks forward to the further development of the role of nursing in primary care and nurses working to full scope of practice.
