Fellow of Clinical Nurse Specialist

Congratulations to Donna Bond DNP, RN, CCNS, AE-C, CTTS, FCNS; Pulmonary Clinical Nurse Specialist on being inducted into the inaugural class of fellows for the Clinical Nurse Specialist Institute (CNSI). Donna will begin using the new credential, “FCNS.”

From the CNSI “We are very proud of the 38 outstanding clinical nurse specialists who are part of the inaugural class of fellows. Each has made outstanding contributions to the nursing professions, the clinical nurse specialist role, and nursing and health care leadership and scholarship. The CNSI trustees have judged the quality and character of their work as exceptional. Each one is remarkably accomplished.”

I am blessed to call Donna a peer and a friend. Her hard work and dedication on areas such as VAP and smoking cessation are just a few of the many reasons she is so deserving of this honor.
