Held to the standards of your highest licensure

You hear this referenced so many times as a primary reason not to take a position that requires less than your highest license.

I'm curious, does anyone know of anyone who had a negative situation occur while working in a lesser capacity than their license that resulted in consquences to their license??

I hear it repeated over and over as a reason for someone not to take a particular position. I just have never heard of even a friend of a friend of a friend experiencing anything like that. I don't ever recall hearing anything like that happening , no news accounts ...nothing.

I'm just not so sure that it is really enough of a legitimate concern that it should prevent someone from taking a job they otherwise find attractive.

I think, for myself, I probably wouldn't worry about it if there was something I wanted to do. Even if I was mid-career.

I've been out of the clinical world for a long time now but still remain in the field. When I'm ready to chuck it all, I think I will join a home care bed and bath team :) :)

It's 1:1, quality time, low stress and responsibility.
