This paper discusses the essential elements,selective modes,criteria,training methods and evaluation system for nurses to be trained as clinical nursing specialist (CNS). The authors think that CNS should be excellent in morality,ability,health and be expert in playing social professional and psychological roles and therefore suggest that CNS selection should insist on high standard and equitable,impartial and open principles;training programs should combine long-term programs with short-term targets;training methods should combine major speciality and personal speciality with systematic training of all nurses;a personal archive should be constructed,including personal professional morality,major theory, specialistic practice, technical ability, teaching and researching skills;and regular quantification evaluation should be carried out to maintain the superior and abandon the inferior.
