Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This House resolution expresses support for National Clinical Nurse Specialist Week, which is observed during the first week of September, and recognizes the professional contributions of Clinical Nurse Specialists throughout the United States. Clinical Nurse Specialists are advanced practice registered nurses with graduate-level degrees who work in hospitals, clinics, and community health settings, playing key roles in improving patient care quality, reducing hospital complications, and supporting nursing workforce development. The resolution particularly highlights that Clinical Nurse Specialists have historically lacked a distinct federal occupational classification, which has made it difficult for policymakers and workforce planners to accurately track and support this segment of the nursing workforce. The House calls on Americans to observe the week with appropriate programs and ceremonies while committing to ensure that Clinical Nurse Specialists are properly counted and classified in federal health workforce planning efforts. This is a symbolic resolution with no direct funding or legal requirements, serving primarily to recognize the nursing profession's contributions to the healthcare system.
