Re: New grad accepted peds offer
Congrats to all!! But need some advice.... I'm also a new graduate LPN, and recently (4 months ago) started working for a pediatric clinic. I love it, except that I found out that a primary nurse working with a pediatrician is not a licensed nurse! Oh, she has been to school, but can't pass her boards. (Has taken it 3 times.) This person gives vaccinations, medications, and calls herself "A Nurse". What!?!

How do I know? This person told me herself!!! When I questioned the powers that be about it, they said that the pediatrician was taking responsibility for it, and not to worry about it.

Then why did I work so hard to get my license? Does anyone know how to report this? I contacted my local state board of nursing (Arkansas), and they agreed with me, but as far as I know, no action has been taken. And again....

HELP!!
