I support revisions of the current clinical nurse specialists regulations based upon the Consensus Model for APRN Regulations. By adopting the language of this 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. The CNSs at our facility have long been the workhorses and advocates for nursing development and growth. Thank you for your consideration.
