Who We Are

History of the Organization:

Texas Clinical Nurse Specialists was begun in March 2003 by a group of CNS leaders in Texas and formally adopted Bylaws in January 2004. We have functioned as a virtual group with meetings by conference calls and emails. Originally based in Richardson, Texas, the organization moved its home base to Austin, Texas as of spring 2006. The group does not hold annual meetings but this may evolve in the future.
