CNS Psych did you know

[Theresa Morrison PhD CNS-BC]

FNA has been closely watching bills that allow psych-certified ARNPs to initiate Baker Act proceedings and release individuals from health system- or hospital-owned facilities. HB 335 and SB 476 would redefine a psychiatric nurse who works in mental health care settings. Current law requires these psychiatric nurses to have be licensed as an RN and have a master's or doctorate degree in psychiatric nurse. The legislation would require them to be an ARNP with certification as a mental health advanced practice nurse.
