CNS Requirements
 

This is not consistent with the national movement to legitimize Advanced Nursing Practice as a whole and CNS's specifically.  The Consensus Model for Regulation of Advanced Nursing Practice clearly wants APN's to move toward licensure (not just registration) and substantiate this level of expertise through certification. I CLEARLY OPPOSE THIS !
