NP vs. CNS ??

Published

Can someone please explain to me the differences between a Nurse Practitioner and a Clinical Nurse Specialist?

Thanks

I'm in a CNS (adult health) and am interviewing with a renal/nephrology group and have interviewed with a hospital for a clinical educator roles. I have found it interesting how different places use the different roles. For many positions, it is the billability for services that is the precursor to employment. In other words, if the practice or hospital can bill for the APN's services, that is what they are going with.
