InSuppoty of Revising CNS Regulations
 

 

 I support the revision of the current CNS regulations based on the Consensus Model do APRN Regulations. By adopting the language of the model, the VA. Board of Nursing can ensure uniformity in licensure, accreditation, certification and education to facilitate the regulation of safe and competantancy of  advanced practice nurses (APRNs), including CNS to meet the growing needs of the Commonwealth. Thank you for your time.
