General Information
Action Summary The Board is initiating rulemaking in response to a petition from the Virginia Association of Clinical Nurse Specialists, which requested changes to regulations relating to registration of a clinical nurse specialist (CNS). The Board intends to amend section 210 to clarify that it will accept for registration evidence of a clinical nurse specialist certification that has been retired or is the core certification, provided it has been maintained and is current. Likewise, a retired or core certification that remains current qualifies a clinical nurse specialist to renew registration.
