AnnaRN

She is not a MA. I asked her. She is the secretary's daughter and just graduated high school. She has never worked in the medical field in any capacity. I have worked with MA's and my other doctors use them exclusively. I also have never had a RN do my vitals etc.

I am an RN and I recently went to my MD office to get an injection of Prolia. He used to have an RN (his wife) there to do vitals and give injections. The RN is no longer there and he now has his secretary's daughter, who is 18 and a recent high school graduate, there to do vitals, go over the med list and give injections. She told me the doctor showed her how to do it because she had no experience what so ever. Now she is doing everything the RN used to do! She is untrained and unlicensed. It made me uncomfortable but I let her do it since I was there and able to supervise my own injection! Does anyone know if this is legal? I live in California.
