MA pretending to be a Registered Nurse

Published

I need someone from the Health department to call me. I'm forced to work with a rouge MA pretending to be a Registered Nurse.

have you Googled your state health dept?  I'm certain that info cannot be that hard to find, for wherever you're located.   What exactly do you mean "pretending to be an RN"?  MA's can typically room patients, take vitals, give injections, perform blood draws, etc, again variable by location and state regulations.  What exactly are they doing that they should NOT be?  

Should you perhaps speak to your employer/HR dept first?  Perhaps this MA has some kind of seniority or other qualifications/certifications to do things above a typical MA.  Again, I'm certain it varies and you'd have to do a little digging to see where to go.
