    I have looked at CNS. I am concerned that I keep hearing they are being "phased out". Also, the role that I am familiar with them being in is not what I am interested in. I just keep fooling...

    I should add that I am a RN/BSN with 9 years experience. I am not a direct-entry student. The university I am looking at (Ball State) only offers nursing education under the CNL
