A LITERATURE REVIEW and survey were undertaken to identify the appropriate titling for individuals in clinical nursing and other advanced practice roles, to establish components in each role, and to determine the educational level necessary for each role. Based upon review and survey results, a CNS task force at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics proposed a change in the titles of nurses in advanced practice at their institution to reflect the American Nurses' Association's definition of advanced practice nursing and recommended graduate level education for these advanced positions. Five specific titles and primary role components were identified: advanced registered nurse practitioners. CNS, education nurse specialist, research nurse specialist, and informatics nurse specialist. Retitling aided in clearly identifying major responsibilities of the position, clarifying role expectations, and creating evaluation tools.
