Estimated numbers of individual specialties of advanced
practice nurses and their percents may add up to more
than the total numbers of nurse who have achieved advanced
practice nurse status because registered nurses may
have had preparation in more than one advanced practice
nurse specialty.
** The most frequent pairings of APN specialties are
nurse practitioners with clinical nurse specialists
and nurse practitioners with nurse midwives. The table
below shows the weighted number and percent of nurses
who have various combinations of specialties. Note that
each pairing includes, but is not limited to, the specialties
