BSN2004

For those of you who read the last post talking about this, sorry but I could not find it..... A while ago I read a post that talked about MA's calling themselves, or their co-workers/bosses, or patients calling them nurses. the comments went into the fact that they are NOT nurses, it's against the law in some states for them to call themselves nurses and etc. after going to work over the next few days (at a out patient clinic) where they are LPN's, MA's, and CNA's, I realized that I was in the same environment, everyone claims to be a nurse. So my question is..... I am a graduate of a BSN program. I am currently working as a CNA until i take my NCLEX next month. Am I a NURSE yet? Must I be Licensed? It's a common sense question, I know the answer is not yet, after my exam I will be a nurse.... But when a patient calls, and I answer the phone I do answer there questions and concerns. Am i wrong for doing this because the patient thinks that they are talking to a real nurse? :uhoh21:
