CNS as APRN
 

I support the designation of the term APRN to include CNS in the Va regulatory documents.  As a mental health therapist in Virginia, it has been difficult to be limited in scope of practice due to the state regulations that are not consistent with most of the other states in the US.  Thank you for working to change this.
