I support the revisions to the practice act that bring clinical nurse specialists into the APRN category -following the the Consensus Model for APRN Regulations, which will 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 and set an example for other states to follow.
