Approximately a year ago, the National Council of State Boards of Nursing Advanced Practice Registered Nurse Advisory Panel (NCSBN APRN Advisory Panel) wrote a paper that detailed their vision for the future. At that time, the future did not include Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNS). That has now changed, and CNSs are back! Many of you responded in a very visceral way to the NCSBN Draft Vision Paper on Future Regulation of Advanced Practice Nursing. Thank you for your energy and passion. What you did is assist us as your national representatives to clearly describe that CNS practice DOES exist and will continue to exist far into the future. The discussions this year have been many and have sometimes been difficult, but it is a great pleasure to report to you that the NCSBN APRN Advisory Panel clearly heard ail of us and have moved to support us in our efforts.
