The National Association of Clinical Nurse Specialists (NACNS) announced the appointment of five members to the 2023-2024 NACNS Board of Directors and introduced its President-Elect and Secretary-Treasurer today.
NACNS represents thousands of clinical nurse specialists (CNS) across the country. Clinical nurse specialists are advanced practice registered nurses (APRN) who have graduate preparation in nursing. They can diagnose, treat, prescribe and bill like other APRNs as allowed by their state regulations and typically hold leadership positions at the hospital or system level.
“NACNS Board Members play a critical leadership role within the organization. They act as the primary advocates for the 89,000 CNSs in the United States,” said Phyllis Whitehead, PhD, APRN/CNS, ACHPN, PMGT-BC, FNAP, FAAN and president, NACNS. “Their advocacy extends beyond NACNS to their patients and the organizations they serve. CNSs are uniquely qualified to work at the bedside as well as in clinical or educational roles.”
