National Clinical Nurse Specialist Week

The 17th Annual Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) Recognition Week is September 1–7, 2026. This year’s theme, “Amplify,” mirrors the NACNS 2027 Annual Conference focus and reflects a bold call to elevate the voice, value, and visibility of CNSs and the essential role they play in advancing healthcare.

Whether you’re a CNS, a colleague, or a supporter, this is the time to celebrate the nearly 90,000 CNSs whose expertise touches every corner of health care.
