Support Revisions for CNS
 

I support  the revisions in regulations for Clinical Nurse Specialists.  This action will address the first key message  in the Institute of Medicine's report , The Future of Nursing, regarding nurses practicing to the full extent of their training and education.  Given the shift toward primary care, we are vital stakeholders in another key message as we can partner with multi-disciplinary teams to restructure the health care system.
