The Clinical Nurse Specialist is an invaluable resource to the healthcare team, and should be allowed to practice to the fullest extent of their skill and educational abilities. As a Registered Nurse, I have worked with several highly skilled and knowledgeable CNSs and have found their services exceptional to the advancement of patient care. I challenge each of you to make the requests in this petition a reality for our state's CNSs.

I am in support of the changes proposed by this petition.
