CNSs are a vital part of the health care team and must be offically recognized as Advanced Practice Registered Nurses in each state. Regulations are imperative to support their ability to practice to the full extent (reference: IOM Report on the Future of Nursing). Vote "Yes" to support the provision of quality care to the citizens of your state.
