Licensed vocational nurses (LVN) and licensed practical nurses (LPN) are some of the lowest-paid nursing roles, but that is due to the fact that the educational requirements are less than most other types of nurses.
Despite of years of maturing, the CNS role is still poorly understood with confusion around titling, credentials and the scope of practice. Lack of understanding of the role and its outcomes has resulted in the inconsistent use and inadequate use of the role in healthcare systems (Sanchez et al., 2019).
You will need a graduate degree and licensure as a registered nurse. Most students earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and an RN license, then gain work experience while continuing their education toward a master's or doctoral degree.
CNSs enjoy a high level of autonomy and responsibility in their practice. They can diagnose, treat and manage patients' health conditions. Playing such a significant role in patients' lives can be professionally rewarding.
By definition, nurse practitioners (NP) and clinical nurse specialists (CNS) are unique subsets of advanced practice registered nurses. In general, a CNS works more in administration, education, and research, and NPs focus more on direct patient care and clinical leadership.
