What is an Advanced Practice Nurse?
Advance Practice Nurses (APNs) include Certified Registered Nurse Practitioners (CRNPs), Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNSs), Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs), and Certified Nurse Midwives (CNMs). Each of these APN specialty areas encounter many barriers to practice preventing them from providing the full scope of services they are trained to offer.
