GRanted Fal. As a CNS with prescriptive authority, I am licensed as a APRN in 5 states. In 4 of these I am independent. In my 5 states CNS scope of practice is same as NP

A CNS is an APRN with prescriptive authority in 36 states. My DEA calls me a mid-level practitioner. In many states CNS and NP are interchangeable.

Honestly did not know that.... had no idea... my only experience with CNS's were masters prepared kind of "uber-nurses" that served as special clinical resource people and educators.

Corrected.
