   PEBBLES1 replied to SuziQ63's topic in General Nursing

7. I'm sure this has been said.. MA's calling themselves Nurses

   PEBBLES1 replied to AprilN's topic in General Nursing

   I have been a MA for 16 years and I never once passed myself off as a RN. I think the title of nurse is taken lightly and MA's and CNA's really do think they are. Now that I am a RN, I have truly earned that title. I use to work with a girl who would...
