Nurse anesthetists have completed advanced education in an accredited program in anesthesiology in order to qualify to be a nurse anesthetist. A clinical nurse specialist is a nurse who has an advanced degree or expertise in a specialized area of practice. The American Nurses Credentialing Center provides national certification of clinical nurse specialists. The nurse educator is employed in a nursing program, at an educational institution, or in hospital staff education and may have a baccalaureate degree or more advanced preparation. Nurse researchers usually have advanced education at the doctoral level.
