   Is the nurse with the overtime, friends with the owner or something? Sounds kinda funny to me. That is not fair. I am sorry that happened to you. I will say a prayer that something even better will come along. Good nurses deserve better then that. ...

   Saying you are a MA does not make it so. They are not reconized in our state unless they have gone to school. I am done with this post. Off to better things. Have a good night.

   You said people go around claiming to be a nurse when they are not. Is this not what this board is all about? Again, they can call themselves a medical asst. all they want to but that does not make them one if they did not go to school for it. If ...

   Well said. We do have to go to school. So it is not fair for people who have not gone to school to call themselves MA's.

    Quote: It's a shame the office wants to cuts costs at the expense of a patient's health because they are worried about the bottom line. I'd leave if I didn't like my pediatrician so much. Unfortunately I think this practice is becoming more and more ...
