Advanced practice nurses (APNs) have a broad depth of knowledge and expertise in their
c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3
specialty area and manage complex clinical and systems issues. Intensivists are medical
c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3
practitioners who manage the critical ill patient. Registered nurses (RNs) are generally direct care
c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3
providers. Clinical nurse leaders (CNLs) generally do not manage system issues.
