Hello, All
I am not sure it this a joke or not.:chuckle We were speaking to a medical assistant from Texas and they are called "Nurses". In addition, they give shots, pass out medications and do vitals. Therefore, medical assistants are called "nurses" in Texas.
I never heard medical assistants called "nurses". I thought they could work in the office, do vitals and place the patients in the room. I never knew medical assistants could replace nurses.
Would someone please clarified with me about this controverisal issues?
Thank you,
