I support the revisions to the practice act that bring clinical nurse specialists into the APRN category -following the Consensus Model for APRN Regulations. By adopting the language of the LACE model, the Virginia Board of Nursing can ensure uniformity in licensure, accreditation, certification, and education to facilitate the regulation of safe and competent advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), including Clinical Nurse Specialists, to meet the growing health care needs of the Commonwealth.
