MLTs and MAs replacing nurses?

I am in no way trying to belittle or put down MA's or MLT's..if I do so, my sincere apologies, that is not my aim. Having said that....

okay i am a lpn and was forced to quit my full time job to finish up my rn degree. i needed a low stress job so i accepted a position at a walk in clinic. this is where this otherwise boring story takes a turn. i am usually the only nurse there, the rest are medical lab tech's . they are referred to as nurses and carry out every nursing duty without limitations. they answer nursing calls regarding medications, call in medications. i was just wondering is this common practice in walk in clinics?

I took a HUGE pay cut to take this job, and I am wondering are nurses being phased out of outpatient ambulatory patient settings for cost containment?

Check with your State Board of Nursing on whether the actions that people are performing is practising nursing without a liscense.

It's encumbent upon all RN's and LPN's to protect the profession. If we allow non-nurses to represent themselves as nurses and infringe on areas they shouldn't the nursing profession as we know it will disappear.
