Okay, a little background here. I was attending school, following my dream of becoming a nurse, when a bump in the road landed me back at the front desk for an orthopedic surgeon I worked for. I still intend to finish school for nursing but will have to wait a little while. The problem: One of the ladies I work with is fairly new to this office, we have no nurse, nor the Dr. believe he needs one, but this lady likes to "pretend" she is a nurse. When patients call and ask for a nurse she replies "I can help you", thus leading patients to believe she is nurse. She does other things that leads patients to believe that she is a nurse, which just infuriates me. :angryfire I have far more education than she does, and even I wouldn't allow patients to believe that I am a nurse. Just curious of what, if any, legal ramifications (sp?) there might be in her actions and I was also wondering what true nurses would think of this behavior. Well, if you feel compelled to answer, I would appreciate it. Heather
