In practice, the best-educated nurses are those who qualify for licensure as advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) – namely, nurse anesthetists, nurse midwives, nurse practitioners, and clinical nurse specialists. As in the education of other health professionals, APRN education is focused primarily on the care of individual patients, with minimal attention to the development of the knowledge, skills, and attitudes required for improving health and health care.6In addition, APRNs are rarely exposed to role models who, within practices or through boundary-spanning efforts, work to simultaneously improve patient care, system performance, and professional development.
The Evolution of Hypnosis in the Profession of Nursing: We’ve Come a Long Way, Baby, and Still Have a Long Way to Go

Clinical nurse specialists (CNSs) are expert clinicians in a specialized area of nursing practice. Their area of expertise may vary by population, setting, disease, or type of problem (Hamric, Spross, & Hanson, 2005). These skilled clinicians provide expert coaching, guidance, and clinical and professional leadership. They function as a consultant in their area of expertise. Some CNSs interpret, evaluate, and participate in research. Research has shown that when care is delivered in a home, hospital, nursing home, or rehabilitation center by CNSs, better outcomes result by improving quality of care while reducing costs of hospital stays and readmissions (Brooten, Kumar, Brown, et al., 1996; Brooten, Youngblut, Brown, et al., 2001; Naylor, Brooten, Jones, et al., 1994; O’Grady, 2008; Topp, Tucker, & Weber, 1998).
