What is a Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS)?:"A Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) is a masters prepared, advanced practice nurse whose care focuses on a specific patient population (e.g medical, surgical, diabetic, cardiovascular, operating room, emergency room, critical care, or geriatric, neonatal, etc.) A CNS divides there time into five general areas – clinical practice, teaching, research, consulting, and management. There assessment skills tend to be more focused than a Nurse Practitioners, since they focus on a particular area of specialty. But they make up for this by being able to provide more expertise than even an expert level staff nurse (who typically has their responsibilities divided into many different sub-areas.) CNSs are uniquely prepared to assume the role of case manager – one who organizes and coordinates services and resources, and who works to control costs. This makes CNSs central players in the growth of managed care, and they serve to manage the complexities and interdependencies of different parts of health care practice." http://www.allnursingschools.com/faqs/cns.php?src=goto33 ******************************************************
