Not usually. New York State Law does not recognize a clinical nurse specialist as an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN); only Nurse Practitioners (NPs) are recognized as APRNs. Clinical nurse specialists must complete additional education in order to be certified as Nurse Practitioners in New York State.
