The Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) is an expert clinician who may practice in a specialty area with expertise in teaching, mentoring, consulting, research, management and systems improvement. The clinical nurse specialist influences outcomes by providing expert consultation to all care providers and by implementing improvements in health care delivery systems.

Who we are: The Clinical Education and Practice team is composed of clinical educators, clinical nurse specialists, and administrative and program support professionals that support the professional development and practice needs of nurses and nursing support personnel. The team is largely composed of nurses trained at the graduate (Master’s or Doctoral degree) level, and we cover a variety of clinical specialties, including acute and critical care, behavioral health, emergency services, perinatal, and perioperative and procedural services.

What we are known for: Our team of clinical educators deliver quality educational programming and develop practice resources to support nursing caregivers of all experience levels. Our Transition Into Practice (TIPs) program is accredited by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), and the program supports nursing residents, or new nursing graduates, as they transition into their first professional nursing career. We also offer fellowship programs for nurses seeking to transition into a different clinical specialty. The clinical nurse specialists on the team support critical clinical and quality improvement work across the various clinical specialties to ensure positive clinical outcomes for our patients.
