  • Clinical Nurse Specialist

    Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNSs) are advanced practice nurses prepared at the Master’s or Doctoral level who possess advanced nursing knowledge, skills and judgment, as well as clinical experience within a focused area of care. CNSs do not have an expanded legislated scope of practice or a separate professional designation; they are regulated as Registered Nurses.
