Careers

What is a Clinical Nurse Specialist?

The Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) is an Advanced Practice Nurse who is licensed as a Registered Nurse and takes a specialty certification exam to practice as a CNS. They are expert clinicians who often have specialization in a variety of health care settings. They can diagnose, treat, and manage patient care. General subspecialties include Adult/Gerontology, Pediatrics, and Neonatal care. Generally CNS’s are not granted full prescriptive authority. CNS’s often focus on more broad aspects of care (such as patient education).
