Working as a Medical Assistant instructor while on probation?

[gnurse2089]

Hey all, so I've been looking at career options outside of the nursing field and was recently offered a interview for a career school as a medical assistant instructor. I wouldn't need an active RN license for the position and I've always been interested in teaching. Ideally, if the job worked out I wouldn't mind just surrendering my license and teaching (in California you can reapply for your license 2 years after a surrender). My only concern is the Board giving me a hassle if I decide to take the job. I know per the terms of our contract I am not allowed to teach or supervise other nurses, but I don't remember anything about MA's. Anyone have any knowledge or experience with this?

Don't surrender your license. I am from California. I had no choice but surrender my RN license when I moved to Florida. ( already bought a house hubby retired was moving to Florida, planned before issues with California license)

I entered IPN in Florida just completed 5 years. Because I surrendered my license in California, its considered discipline. Info is sent to Nursys, National practioner board. Some are on a medicare exclusion list (OIG) I thought since I wasn't on that list I was fine. I just found out I am on California med-cal exclusion list) Can't work for any hospital or office that works with the state of California medi-cal program.

My initial issue was from 2006. I wish California would take my Florida completion of their program as evidence of completion of Probation.

California is a difficult state.

I don't know if teaching has you going to doctors office and or hospital facility. You might be able to teach, good luck..
