I am a nurse no matter what title I have. I have awards for being a overachiever nurse from the state of Missouri boards. I've been recognized for all the dedication and sacrifices I've made from the Board of Nurses and featured as a scholar in the American Journal of Nursing. So yes I'm very proud to call myself a nurse,if you can't support your fellow nurses no matter what title they have, than I feel sorry for your patients and for your degree. Thank you to all who answered my question without judgement,my topic is now closed.

Never claimed to be a RN

Thank you for answering my question. I just feel uneasy letting people with no schooling give injections,but I guess since the physician is good with it than I will have to be.

So because I'm not a RN than I'm not a nurse? I was just asking for advise,not to be belittled by people. I have a lot of experience working in the ER at hospitals where everyone is licensed. I am now the office manager of a small town family practice where I'm the only one licensed and don't want to lose what I have. I just wanted to know if its ok for them to do what I do without a license. Thank you

I've done this over 20years,sorry

I am a RCMA and I started working in a doctor's office that I found out that I'm the only license nurse. This doctor lets all his staff do injections,when I asked he said they practice under him. Is this allowed or can I get in trouble and loose my certificate as well if something goes wrong? Please let me know what I should do,I live in Missouri.
