[quote=Anonymous]Another advanced nursing option you don't hear about as much is to be a Clinical Nurse Specialist. That's what my sister does (I never heard of it until she pursued it). It's also a master's degree after the BSN +work experience. This is definitely more of a thinking/analysis job combined with teaching. She describes it as essentially being like a management consultant for the nursing practice in a hospital. She has to stay up to date on all the research on practices that support positive patient outcomes, advocate to implement those in her hospital, train staff, gather data on practices/outcomes in her hospital to identify areas for improvement. She also used to teach in a university RN program. She attends and presents at a lot of conferences.[/quote]
