The focus of the Clinical Nurse Specialist option is to prepare graduates to provide and manage advanced nursing care of individuals and groups with complex health problems.  Students selecting the CNS option may specialize in adult health or gerontological health nursing.  Students selecting areas in adult health nursing are eligible to sit for certification as a Medical/Surgical CNS, and may be eligible for certification as an advanced practice nurse in other areas as appropriate.  Students whose clinical focus and target population is gerontological are eligible to sit for certification as a Gerontological CNS.
