I support the revision of the current CNS regulations based upon the Consensus Model for APRN's.This will ensure uniform practice of APRN's to meet the health care needs of those we serve.  Educating patients, families, and staff in disease specific maintenance and prevention is a vital role that the CNS performs. The CNS role is one of leadership and autonomy in that the CNS's use their education in care planning, their critical thinking skills, and their expertise in the area of their certification.  Thank you for your consideration, Sheila B. Delp,RN,MSN,GCNS-BC
