I am in my last semester to be an adult-gerontology Clinical Nurse Specialist at a school that does not have a dual CNS/NP degree. I have really loved my program and learning about the CNS field, but it has become obvious to me that I would much rather practice as a Nurse Practitioner. I am hoping to get some advice on the fastest/easiest way to become a NP once I am a CNS. Specifically, I know there are many dual CNS/NP programs out there, is there any chance some of my CNS clinical hours could be applied to a NP degree? Are there any programs that would specifically be good for my situation? Thanks in advance for help!
