nb is an abbreviation for
Nota Bene. I was lazy and omitted the periods, my apologies.

Often abbreviated as "N. B.", nota bene comes from the Latin roots notāre ("to note") and bene ("well").[1] It is in the singular imperative mood, instructing one individual to note well the matter at hand. In present-day English, it is used, particularly in legal papers,[3] to draw the attention of the reader to a certain (side) aspect or detail of the subject on hand, translating it as "pay attention" or "take notice". While "N. B." is often used in academic writing, "note" is a common substitute.
