title: The clinical nurse specialist in the faculty role.
abstract: Often, contributions by the clinical nurse specialist (CNS) are seen as exclusive to CNSs employed in the service setting. Yet, this may be too narrow a view of the possibilities of the specialist role. This paper examines how a faculty member in a school of nursing who does not hold a joint appointment can fulfill the mission and intent of the CNS role. Citations from the literature and examples from practice describe how the CNS who is a faculty member can enhance nursing as a direct care provider, consultant, researcher and educator.
