I was reading a recent thread on an MA who was saying she was a nurse, and this was brought up between me and my husband.....
My sister in law has been telling our family for YEARS that she is a nurse. A "nurse" is what she usually says,, and when asked by me and my other RN sister in law she says she's an "RN".
Okay,,, so me and my other sil were talking to her during christmas (because we hardly ever see this sil and her husband,, she likes to keep him away from the family as much as she can) and we came to the conclusion that if she is a nurse, she's a very dumb nurse. She had no idea what she was talking about. We even set her up and started talking crazy,, like how we do care plans with the doctor's input,, and we were just going wayyy off base with some things. I could barely keep it together while we were doing this. She went along with ALL OF IT.. She agreed that nurses write their care plans, and doctors will adjust it to fit their needs... etc..
So, we looked her up on the Texas BON website. She does NOT have a license. No RN, no LVN, no GN, no GVN... She supposedly works at a doctors office that does vasectomies. Anyway,, we were concerned about it to begin with because her husband (our husbands are all brothers) was telling our husbands that she got into big time trouble for writing scripts form this doctors office,, and she was caught at the pharmacy filling narcotics for herself. And she had their baby with them.
She has totally brain washed her husband, and I doubt that there is anything our husbands can do about it. But she has the whole world thinking she is a "nurse". I really hope that they don't think that at the place that she works. I'm not sure where it is,, it would take some digging to find out. Actually, I doubt that she still works there after being arrested and such. I heard this isn't the first time she's done this. Or the first doctors office she's worked at.
Anyway, in a way, I am just venting, because I don't know what I can do about this if anything. I mean,, her husband is totally brain washed,, I know that he has no clue about her. Our husbands have tried to tell him that she's not a nurse and all these lies that she's been telling... but he won't believe them.
I try to stay out of it,, but it really bothers me that during holidays I have to put up with this psycho maniac nurse imposture for a sister in law.
